BEIJING – The combined profits of China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) declined in the January-April period owing to a high comparison base in the same period last year and sporadic resurgences of COVID-19, official data showed Friday.

Combined profits of the SOEs dropped 3.6 percent year on year to 1.28 trillion yuan (about $190 billion) in the first four months of the year, according to data from the Ministry of Finance.
