China has decided² to open some monopolizes³, like energy and power, as part of the country’s reforms on the state-owned enterprises.

Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission says that the aim is to let the market determine the prices.

The move comes after reform plans for electricity, oil and gas were submitted to the State Council for approvals.

At the same time, China is going to launch pilot reforms for SOEs in 10 areas next year.
