China Reform Holdings Corp, a major Chinese state asset manager, is planning to raise a substantial fund of at least 100 billion yuan (approximately $13.70 billion). This fund will be directed towards investments in emerging industries, as reported by China Business News.
The initiative has already garnered investment interest from over 20 central government-owned enterprises, local governments, and private investors. The fund is slated to commence operations by the end of the current year.
This move aligns with a broader trend in China, where state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are increasingly focusing on investments in emerging and strategic sectors such as artificial intelligence, new energy, new materials, and biotechnology. This is part of Beijing’s efforts to reform the SOEs and modernize them to be at the forefront of innovation and growth.
China Reform Holdings, established in 2021, holds a critical role in advancing these reforms within the state-owned enterprise sector. As of the end of 2022, the company managed nearly 860 billion yuan of assets, underscoring its significant presence in managing state assets and furthering economic goals in line with national strategies.

U.S. to expedite permitting for Utah uranium project in national security push
The U.S. Interior Department announced on Monday it will dramatically accelerate the environmental permitting process for Anfield Energy’s proposed Velvet-Wood uranium mine in Utah, underscoring President Donald Trump’s push to increase domestic energy production, particularly in nuclear fuel.
In a striking departure from the usual timeline, the agency said the environmental review for the mine will be completed in just 14 days — a process that typically spans several years due to the potential ecological and public health concerns surrounding uranium mining. The move is part of a broader Trump administration strategy to roll back what it calls “climate extremist policies” and fast-track projects critical to U.S. energy independence.
