Nearly one in every three private entrepreneurs wants to play a political role as the private sector continues to fuel the country's economic growth, says a recent survey.

The private sector accounts for 65 percent of China's GDP and contributes over 80 percent of its economic growth, says the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC).

The study was conducted jointly by the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of Communist Party of China, the All-China Association for Private Business Studies and the ACFIC.
