Exactly. Speaking about the larger ones, Chinese enterprises can be broken down into these categories: domestically invested, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan invested, and foreign invested—any of these major categories. Each of these major categories can also be further divided up into many smaller categories.

All right. Speaking of domestically invested enterprises, actually the state-owned enterprises and privately-owned enterprises we frequently hear about belong to this category. Oh, do you know what state-owned enterprises refer to?
