• Most, if not all, US companies have become more conscious of China. Many have incorporated China into their strategies regardless of their level of direct experience with China. While some are attracted to China by its enormous potential consumer market, most go to China in order to better manage production costs. An increasing number of US companies are compelled to go to China by the dynamics of domestic consumer demand. Such demand is not only just for manufactured products but also for services such as software development, back office processing, designs, and other.

Demand in China is just that, demand that happens to be in China. Much of the 'internal demand' we are seeing is driven by multinational corporations or those companies servicing those multinationals.

Thanks for sharing.

...(b) Should the core SOEs be privatized and, if so, how?...

We don't even privatize everything here in the United States so no everything is feasible, I guess I'd like to see a specific list of industries before that question can be answered. Then it would have to be determined who would get to own the industry if privatized. How do you even do something like that? Hold an auction and sell the state's assets to the highest bidder(s)?
