China Poly Group Corporation (Chinese: 中国保利集团公司; pinyin: Zhōngguó Bǎolì Jítuán Gōngsī) is a state owned Chinese business group among 102 central state owned enterprises under the supervision of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC). The company is controlled by the descendants of Deng Xiaoping family.
It is both primarily engaged in representing the Chinese defense manufacturing industry in international sales and the world's third largest art auction house (behind Sotheby's and Christie's).[1] A profile of the company in The New York Times noted the seemingly strange contrast of being able to buy a painting on the third floor and a missile system on 27th of the company's headquarters at New Beijing Poly Plaza.[1]
