The competitive state-owned enterprises are suitable for the development of the mixed ownership and the key to the development of the mixed ownership does not lie in the pure introduction of the nongovernmental capital but should conduct the regulatory corporate governance. Prof. Gao pointed out that the current competitive state-owned listed companies in China have more or less problems in respect of the power balance with shareholder structure, Investor protection, board governance and board independence, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial independence, financial governance and risk control, voluntary information disclosure, executive compensation incentives, etc., by comparing the Chinese and foreign study cases and the full-sample data of the listed companies and through the empirical analysis. So only when these enterprises improve and optimize these aspects can they truly enhance their operational efficiency.
