assets supervisory and administrative organ shall perform contributor’s duties to the development strategies and plans of the contributed
enterprises, conduct supervision and administration and maintain the owner’s rights and interests, all these are the basic requirements
for ensuring the full performance of the contributor’s duties and the realization of the combination of managing assets, managing
persons and managing affairs, and the unification of the rights, duties and obligations.
