🇺🇸🇨🇳 Top 10 Biggest Companies in America and China
America and China are the two biggest economies in the world.
To measure how big a company is, we usually look at its market value — the total value of all its shares.
In total, the top 10 U.S. companies are worth about $18 trillion, while the top 10 Chinese companies are worth around $3 trillion.
That means American companies are almost 6 times bigger than China’s!
Most U.S. companies are in the technology sector — like mobile, computers, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Chinese companies are strong in online shopping, banking, and consumer goods (like alcohol and smartphones).
Interestingly, America’s 10th biggest company (Eli Lilly) is worth $740 billion, which is even more than China’s #1 company (Tencent) at $635 billion!
