He added: “In a changing world, enterprises must undertake reform and restructuring to increase productivity, quality, and competitiveness amid the digital age. I set an overall goal of restructuring and improving performance of state-owned enterprises on the basis of advanced technology, innovation, international-level management to mobilize, distribute, and use effectively social resources.”
