China also has an out for state owned debt (it's pretty much a one off deal only): sell SOE shares (somewhere between 20-40% of the shares in each SOE).
Obviously, it's only a one time thing (for economic and political reasons).

Has China said anything about reforming SOE and introducing more market dynamics in their structure?
Various studies have shown that the SOE chronically underperform in technology, R&D and they are not flexible to new opportunities

Depends on the SOE in question.
On average SOE are lagging private businesses. Here the most recent study from the end of 2016. Note, that this is not considered old as their finding share similar finding from 25 years ago..

How can the movies Hollywood makes about China don't do well in China? That's the difference from being conquered by the West and not being conquered by the West. People don't think about this because it seems so innocuous but this is the crux of why they have to force Chinese to embrace Western values. They think their portrayal of Chinese would have to be superior and therefore attract Chinese to do watch thus that's how they make money from Western supremacy. Hollywood doesn't like how the average Chinese movie makes more money in China in US dollars than what the average American movie makes in the US and Canada. That's money they should be getting. It's just like what happened in Alaska last week between the US and China. The US thinks their view of the world is the only true universal interpretation and they get upset when others don't see it their way. When Ang Lee directed his first American movie, The Ice Storm, he was attacked by critics for how he portrayed Americans. The movie was based off a book written by an American about Americans. They had a problem with an Asian making a movie about Americans... They want to gear China to where they give Americans money for basically nothing. And they somehow want everyone to believe they against slavery. It's just a "high-tech" version of slavery where they just don't call it what is and it's not it. That's all it takes for them to spin it's not slavery.
This is the most important, as it shows even high tech investment is still being plowed into China despite superficial government rhetoric.
How can a pirate last long? I'm no expert, but even I can see that a ship about to be robbed would be able to radio for help, and then a Chinese warplane would come quickly. Then torpedos and/or missiles fired by the plane would sink the pirate ship. Wouldn't a pirate have a very short and very hazardous career?

The foreign debt of China, by June 2015, stood at around US$ 1.68 trillion, a lot higher now .. thats why "somewhat" GOT IT?
.
More to the point, China could use interpol and global police agencies to arrest US politicians and "think tankers" who had a hand in international piracy. Not to mention global sanctions.
Seems like the "think tanks" who come up with this shit spend more time playing computer games than dealing with reality.
