  • AEDC-17-08-3112-Ruyi Case Study
    CHINA’S TOP TEXTILE COMPANY FINDS “HIGH COTTON” SOLUTIONS IN ARKANSAS Snapshot The Situation In 2015, Chinese textile manufacturer, Shandong Ruyi, wanted to expand operations North America to find cheaper energy costs, better overall quality, a multilingual workforce and access to raw cotton. The Problem/Challenge In the search for a new location, the company needed to find a state that could both meet their manufacturing needs and be a partner that could respond to their queries in a timely fashion. The Solution The AEDC was responsive to the needs of Shandong Ruyi, indicating a culture of understanding and commitment which fostered a working relationship. Part of that response included competitive incentives for bringing business to Arkansas. Ruyi Group is able to take advantage of these incentives, including up to $4 million in grants and participation in the Create Rebate and Tax Back programs. With the Create Rebate program, the company will receive an annual cash rebate equal to 5 percent of total payroll (associated with the new jobs created) for 10 years. The Tax Back program provides sales tax refunds on building materials, machinery and equipment. The Results In 2017, the Shandong Ruyi Technology Group announced plans to invest $410 million in the former Sanyo manufacturing facility in Forrest City, Arkansas. The new facility will create up to 800 jobs. Production at the new facility is set to begin by mid-2018. The Situation In 2015, Shandong Ruyi Technology Group, the largest textile manufacturer in China, and the world’s leading innovative-technology textile enterprise, decided it was time to expand into North America.

  • Conglomeration Unbound: the Origins and Globally Unparalleled Structures of Multi-Sector Chinese Corporate Groups Controlling Large Financial Companies
    CONGLOMERATION UNBOUND: THE ORIGINS AND GLOBALLY UNPARALLELED STRUCTURES OF MULTI-SECTOR CHINESE CORPORATE GROUPS CONTROLLING LARGE FINANCIAL COMPANIES XIAN WANG, ROBERT W. GREENE & YAN YAN* ABSTRACT Unlike other major financial markets, Mainland China is home to many mixed conglomerates that control a range of large financial and non-financial firms. This Article examines the Leninist origins of these financial-commercial conglomerates (“FCCs”), and how legal and policy changes in the 1980s and 1990s enabled FCC growth during the 2000s. An underexplored topic of research, Mainland China’s FCCs are mostly not subject to group-wide regulation and this Article finds that due to complex ownership structures brought about, in part, by legal ambiguity, potential risks these entities pose to financial markets can be unclear to regulators—in 2019, issues at one FCC-controlled bank ultimately sparked market-wide distress. Using a dataset built by the authors, this Article estimates that by 2017, FCC-controlled companies accounted for thirteen to nineteen percent of Mainland China’s commercial banking assets, over one- * Xian Wang is an Associate Dean at the National Institute of Financial Research in the People’s Bank of China School of Finance at Tsinghua University.
