Under the label of ��he socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics�� the Chinese Government has made a firm commitment to economic reform, though still retaining tight political
control. Thus, under conditions of liberal economic systems and autocratic rule, a new capitalist system is emerging in China; its top companies are managed by private entrepreneurs, government
bodies or a combination of both.This book, presented in an easily accessible format, fills an important gap in the growing literature on China in the global economy and provides a research
reference tool on China's top companies. It offers a comprehensive directory listing of the Top 100 corporations in China, thus enhancing the research potential on China for students,
researchers and businesses. As a general reference guide to the Chinese economy, A Guide to the Top 100 Companies in China provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the top Chinese
enterprises. Corporations from Hong Kong and Taiwan that conduct significant business in China are also included.
