    “SOE” is an economist weasel word, it covers everything from a soviet factory to a public corp handling contracts for 90% privatized services in post soviet countries. there isn’t even a percent of public ownership that makes an SOE an SOE.

    Not saying Chinese SOEs function a specific way, but simply having them doesn’t pass muster imo, we need to interrogate the characteristics of them to actually know if they’re neoliberal or not.
