Private enterprises belong to which type of company

Private enterprises, in addition to "wholly state-owned", "state-controlled", other types of enterprises as long as there is no state capital, are private enterprises. This term is very common in China and Taiwan.

In fact, most of the private enterprises in the People's Republic of China (PRC) today are privately owned (private enterprises), which the PRC government has named "private enterprises" because of the traditional ****productivist opposition to private ownership.

There is also the view that an enterprise should be defined by the source and composition of its capital. If the capital of an enterprise is made up of private assets (including capital, movable and immovable assets), it can be called a "private enterprise".

"Private" is a word with strong Chinese characteristics, in a narrow sense, private assets refers to the private property of Chinese citizens, excluding state-owned assets and foreign assets (assets owned by foreign owners). Therefore, a private enterprise is defined as all enterprises, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and joint-stock companies, other than state-owned enterprises, state-controlled enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, within the territory of China. From the point of view of the operation and control of the enterprise, including a small part of state-owned assets and (or) foreign-invested assets, but does not have the operation and control of the enterprise limited liability company and joint stock limited company can also be called "private enterprises".

China's private enterprise definition in a broad sense, private only with the state-owned enterprises, and any non-state-owned enterprises are compatible, including state-owned shareholding and holding enterprises. Therefore, to summarize the concept of private enterprise is: non-state-owned enterprises are private enterprises.

From a narrow point of view, "private enterprise" refers only to private enterprises and private enterprises as the main joint venture. The concept of "private enterprise" is not easy to get rid of the discriminatory color due to historical reasons, whether it is a private enterprise investors, operators, employees or social workers interested in promoting the development of private enterprises, tend to use the neutral "private enterprise" name. This has led to the term "private enterprise" being used in many cases as an alternative name for private enterprises, and this paper agrees with this. The definition of private enterprise in this paper is mainly in its narrower sense.
