Quelle restructuration des PME d’État en Chine ?
Jean-François Huchet
I n Chinese politics privatization has never been fully acknowledged the way it has in Eastern Europe or the countries of the former
Soviet bloc. Yet it has been one of the major orientations in the restructuring
of Chinese state enterprises since 1994. The results are highly contrasting
and depend primarily on the competitive and institutional environments in
which these privatizations were carried out. Privatization has produced
mediocre results (particularly when shares were sold to employees in companies where skills and internal controls have improved little) when carried out
in a non-competitive environment with weak legal, bureaucratic, fiscal and
banking institutions to support a market economy. For this reason, in the
western, northeastern and inner provinces where the public sector still dominates, the central government must now step in more firmly to accelerate
reforms in social welfare, commercial banking and the legal environment so
as to improve the efficiency of programs to restructure small- and mediumsized state companies. On the other hand, in the coastal provinces, widespread greenfield investments have been a decisive factor in the rapidity and
efficiency of the privatization process of small- and medium-sized state companies.
