What's new

China has 2nd most companies in Fortune Global 500

.
Instead of having dozens of state majority owned auto companies,China should merge them into 3 national champions that are able to compete with the best in the industry。

BAC + FAW + Sinotruck + other smaller state-owned auto firms based in north and northeast China
SAC + GAC + JAC + NAC + other smaller state-owned auto firms based in east and southeast China
Dongfeng + Changan + other smaller state-owned auto firms based in central and west China

The private auto companies such as Geely、BYD、Chery、Lifan etc etc should follow suit。

This way we will have more companies in Fortune Global 500。 :D
You can do that but you will end up with 3 car makers buying the others off and thousands of people will be unemployed.

.
In Fortune 500 (revenue, 2014), there are
4 Hong Kong companies,
5 Taiwan companies, and
91 mainland companies,
China total 100.​

Hence the global ranking should be:
1) USA 128
2) China 100 (Mainland, HK, Taiwan)
3) Japan 57

4) France 31
5) United Kingdom 27.5 (Shell count as 0.5)
6) Germany 28
7) South Korea 17
8) Switzerland 13
9) Netherlands 12.5 (Shell count as 0.5)
10) Canada 10​
Northeast Asia, has a complete manufacturing chain, undoubtedly the only future.

For such a relatively small population, Japan and SK set the paradigm of NE Asia's manufacturing powerhouse and provide world-class Fortune Global 500 corporations. Hope China can transcend her own level of 2014, and along with SK/Japan, stabilise the economic status of NE Asia.

If you look at the top three advanced industrialised nations with high per capita throughput, high density of automation, two are in East Asia i.e. JP and SK (the other is Germany) so yes China though no. 1 in macroscopic scale of industrialization worldwide still has to close the gap with her advanced East Asian peers in productivity.

Well said.

Indeed, buddy. And its great to see that China is performing stellar in all sectors. NO doubt that the Chinese can attain such heights, and by setting the goal of matching Japan's performance in the per capita level --- that's impressive for the Chinese, and very humbling for us Japanese that the Chinese hold us in such high regard that we are worthy of being emulated in certain degrees.

Good Job to Asia, definitely.

One of the reasons, Andrew, for Japan's increase in manufacturing despite our population being only 128 million (as if that's a small number, lol!) is that Japan has invested so much energy in perfecting automated manufacturing that makes production output seamlessly coordinated with strategic and tactical management goals. Tho the number of human workers are limited, production is increasing year after year due to this cohesion with human capital management working in tandem with robotic and automated production processes.

And that is the way to go, the Koreans and the Chinese are also investing in this paradigm. :)

China seems to have doubled the number of companies Japan has. That makes sense given that China's GDP is twice as much that of Japan.

More Chinese companies become world top 500


A total of 106 Chinese companies made this year's Fortune Global 500 list, up from 100 firms in 2014, according to the annual ranking released Wednesday.

Sinopec Group, China's top oil refiner, was the second largest company in the world this year by total revenue, up from the third place in 2014, according to the new list topped by U.S. retail giant Walmart.

PetroChina, the largest oil and gas producer in China, remained in fourth place this year, while the State Grid Corporation, the largest electric utilities company, remained seventh.

The number of Chinese companies in the list trailed only the U.S., which boasts 128 companies.

The world's 500 largest companies generated US$31.2 trillion in revenues and US$1.7 trillion in profits in 2014.
