The Central Economic Work Conference in December 2016 pointed out that mixed ownership reform is an important breakthrough in state-owned enterprise reform and pilot reforms of state-owned capital investment and operating companies should be accelerated. This time, the central government has made clear three aspects: 1. An important breakthrough in state-owned enterprise reform is mixed ownership reform; 2. The main fields of mixed ownership reform are electric power, oil, natural gas, railway, civil aviation, telecommunications and military industry, and the general competition fields are suitable for privatization reform; 3. The goal of mixed ownership reform is to form an effective corporate governance structure with checks and balances and a flexible and efficient market-based operation mechanism.In my opinion, if all parties involved in the mixed ownership reform, especially private enterprises, want to make a difference in this field, want to have a good start and achieve a good result, they must at least ask themselves the following questions, and do not blindly enter the field of mixed ownership reform: What is mixed? Why mix? Who can mix? What do you mix with? Which mixes with which? How do we mix it? The operation after mix? What are the risks? How to exit after mixing?
