Total vehicle sales hit nearly 23.5 million units last year, up 6.9 percent from a year earlier, compared to 13.9 percent seen in 2013, while output increased 7.3 percent to 23.72 million units in 2014, down 7.5 percentage points from a year earlier, according to the association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). The sales growth is lower than the CAAM's earlier expectation of 8 to 10 percent for 2014. Despite the slowdown, China remained the world's largest auto manufacturer and market for the sixth consecutive year in 2014. Story 2: A timetable has been set for the reform of China's state-owned enterprises. An official with the country's Assets Management Division says the majority of policies will be rolled out before Spring Festival, which falls on February 19th this year. The State-owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission is putting together new rules for mixed ownership of state assets, as well as changes to the evaluation system for this country's SOE's. Meanwhile, Sinopec, the country's top oil refiner and producer, is planning to launch an IPO of its gas station and convenience store unit in Hong Kong. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sinopec aims to raise more than $5 billion by carving out its 30,000 gas stations and 23,000 convenience stores spread across China in an Hong Kong IPO. The company will pick banks for the IPO after the Chinese Lunar New Year holidays, which are from February 19 to February 21. 
