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.

European oil giants lock in long-term U.S. energy exposure
BP and TotalEnergies are doubling down on America’s hydrocarbons at a moment when Washington is inviting fresh capital into domestic oil and gas. BP has taken a final investment decision on Tiber-Guadalupe, a $5 billion deepwater development in the Gulf of Mexico that will install a floating hub capable of about 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and target roughly 350 million barrels of recoverable resources, with first output slated for 2030.
In parallel, TotalEnergies is buying 49% of Continental Resources’ gas assets in Oklahoma’s Anadarko Basin, a move that positions it to add around 150 million cubic feet per day of U.S. gas by the end of the decade and to better balance its large LNG trading book with upstream molecules produced in-country.
