How it's used
This term is specific to the economic history of mainland China and refers to enterprises managed by local government authorities rather than the central state. It carries a strong nostalgic or historical connotation, often evoking memories of the planned economy era before the widespread market reforms. You will rarely hear it used in a modern Hong Kong context unless discussing history or visiting older parts of the mainland.
