Abstract: The growth and heightened competitiveness of listed companies in China share several central features. These include the gradual transition of state-owned assets to private investors, a rapid pace of product diversification, and impending rapid growth into international markets. In this article, we focus on measuring and identifying the implications of the ownership structure and diversification strategy of listed companies in China. We highlight recent developments in the ownership transition of China's companies, and point to an ownership classification system that can better identify and address differences in the motivations, strategies, and performance of these companies.
