Asia's 1000 largest companies


Hong Kong weekly Yazhou Zhoukan ("Asian Weekly") writes in its December 3 issue that Japan topped the list with 636 companies in Asia, followed by Taiwan with 78 and Korea with 67.

A total of 63 Chinese companies made it on the list, up from 39 in 2004 and 46 in 2005.

Two Chinese companies, Sinopec (the China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation) and SGCC (State Grid Corporation of China) ranked fourth and ninth this year. In terms of sales, Toyota was the top Asian company, with Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Hyundai Motor also among the top 20.

Rankings such as this do give some insight about the tremendous power of the Asian economy...
