China RongTong Asset Management Group Corporation Limited (CRTAMG), known in Chinese as 中国融通资产管理集团有限公司, is a large central state-owned enterprise in China specializing in the management and operation of various types of assets. Headquartered in Beijing, CRTAMG was established relatively recently, formed through the transfer of assets from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and potentially other state-owned entities as part of China's military and state-owned enterprise reform efforts. Its primary function is to manage and maximize the value of a diverse portfolio of non-core military assets and other state-owned assets, transforming them into productive resources for national development and to support military modernization and reform objectives.
