Abstract: Accelerating the construction of a number of large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to become the world-class multinational corporations is determined by the fact that China’s multinational corporations play a dominant role in large state-owned enterprises and the growth of national economy is closely linked with the development, functions and missions of large state-owned enterprises. Cultivating the key state-owned enterprises with international competitiveness is to cultivate world-class multinational corporations, which boast the ability to integrate the global resources and guide and drive the growth of domestic industry, with a leading position in international industrial competition. It is not enough to promote the development of large state-owned enterprises to become world-class multinational corporations just by improving the environment and creating relevant conditions. The SOEs’ reform should be led by the goal of cultivating world-class multinational corporations, and efforts should focus on the completely marketization of commercial state-owned enterprises, making them become the principal players in global markets with commercialized targets, diversified equity and legalized governance.

Key words: state-owned enterprises reform, multinational corporation, world-class
