China’s centrally administered state-owned enterprises (central SOEs) saw their total assets exceed 95 trillion yuan by the end of 2025, China’s top state assets regulator said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) said central SOEs generated 2.5 trillion yuan in total profits in 2025. They also completed 5.1 trillion yuan in fixed-asset investment and paid 2.5 trillion yuan in taxes and fees during the year.
SASAC said the performance of central SOEs helped promote coordinated development across industrial supply chains, supporting upstream and downstream enterprises and providing strong backing for the successful achievement of China’s major economic and social development goals.
China’s central SOEs play a key role in strategic sectors such as energy, telecommunications, transportation and advanced manufacturing, and are viewed as a key pillar of the country’s economic stability and long-term growth.
