largest U.S. exchanges.1 As of October 2, 2020, there were 217 Chinese companies listed on these U.S. exchanges with a total market capitalization of $2.2 trillion.2 3 Companies are arranged by the size of their market cap. There are 13 national-level Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the three major U.S. exchanges. In the list below, SOEs are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the stock symbol.4

This list of Chinese companies was compiled using information from the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, commercial investment databases, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).5 NASDAQ information is current as of February 25, 2019; NASDAQ no longer publicly provides a centralized listing identifying foreign-headquartered companies.

For the purposes of this table, a company is considered “Chinese” if: (1) it has been identified as being from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) by the relevant stock exchange; or, (2) it lists a PRC address as its principal executive office in filings with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Of the Chinese companies that list on the U.S. stock exchanges using offshore corporate entities, some are not transparent regarding the primary nationality or location of their headquarters, parent company or executive offices. In other words, some companies which rely on offshore registration may hide or not identify their primary Chinese corporate domicile in their listing information. This complicates tracing, making it difficult to guarantee that this list captures all Chinese companies registered offshore. Companies domiciled exclusively in Hong Kong also are not included on this list. If information on the company’s IPO year, IPO value, or underwriters is not available, the field is marked “n/a.”
