What Citic does

Huge state-owned conglomerate spanning banking (CITIC Bank), financial services, resources, manufacturing and engineering.

Is a holding company that collects its subsidiaries' profits, with the bank and the securities arm carrying most of them. Industrial businesses such as special steel, resources and engineering add smaller and more cyclical amounts. State-owned, it was founded in 1979 as an early channel for foreign investment into China.

In one line: China's answer to a state-run diversified conglomerate.
