This article uses a panel data set of public listing companies in China empirically to explore the relationship between banks' lending behaviour and non-performing loans. Our results show that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) got more loans than other firms, other things being equal, and SOEs with high default risks were able to borrow more than the low-risk SOEs and non-SOEs. This suggests that Chinese banks had a systemic lending bias in favour of SOEs, particularly those with high default risks, during the period under investigation. The causes and implications of this behaviour are discussed.
