ES: Is the company still run by the State?
HM: No, since 2004, the Beijing Watch Factory has been a private company, but we have not stopped production for even a single day. The great majority of workers accepted to work in the new structure and I, myself, have worked here for the last 25 years, before as director, and now as general manager. You see, nothing so revolutionary (smiles).

So, it would look it.

afaik Seagull had the factory built by the state then told it's up to them to run, or something like that.
Independant's appear to be popping up more and more, better quality too by all accounts, unlike the mushrooms of a few years back.
