The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) is a special commission of the People's Republic of China, directly under the State Council. It was founded in 2003 through the consolidation of various other industry-specific ministries.[1] As part of economic reform, nearly half of state-owned enterprises were sold off in the form of stocks. SASAC is responsible for managing the remaining SOEs, including appointing top executives and approving any mergers or sales of stock or assets, as well as drafting laws related to state-owned enterprises. As of 2017[update], its companies had a combined assets of 161 trillion yuan (US$26 trillion), revenue of more than 23.4 trillion yuan (US$3.6 trillion), and an estimated stock value of 50 trillion yuan (US$7.6 trillion),[2][3][4] making it the largest economic entity in the world.
