最新世界500强榜单公布:中国直追美国

近日刚刚发布的《财富》全球500强榜单，再次将优秀的中国企业推到了媒体的聚光灯下。

今年中国企业共有120家上榜，已经非常接近美国（126家），远超第三位的日本（52家）。从1995年《财富》世界500强排行榜同时涵盖了工业企业和服务性企业以来，还没有任何一个其他国家的企业数量能如此迅速地增长。中国企业上榜数量不断增加的背后，是中国经济的高速增长。从1995年GDP排名全球第七，中国的经济总量接连超过意大利、英国、法国、德国、日本，2010年开始成为仅次于美国的全球第二大经济体。

在总榜Top10方面，中国企业表现稳定，国家电网、中石化和中石油继续分列榜单二至四位。

在排名跃升最快的前十家企业中，国家能源投资集团以跃升175位的成绩拿下“单项冠军”，阿里(上升162位)和腾讯(上升147位)的表现也十分抢眼，此外还有山东能源集团(上升138位)、厦门国贸(上升134位)、美的集团(上升127位)、厦门建发(上升126位)和碧桂园(上升114位)也挤进该项排名的前十。

此外，有13家中国公司首次上榜，它们是：招商局集团、雪松控股、象屿集团、兖矿集团、鞍钢集团、首钢集团、纬创集团、台湾中油、中国太平保险集团、富邦金融控股、泰康保险集团、河南能源化工集团、青岛海尔。其中，作为中国历史最为悠久的企业、也是中国改革开放先行者的招商局集团首次上榜，排名位于280位。

在利润榜方面，苹果仍高居首位，中国公司在前十名中占据四席，全部来自银行业，他们是工商银行、建设银行、农业银行、中国银行。进入利润榜前50的12家中国企业中，只有中国平安（21名）、腾讯（32名）和阿里（39名）三家不属于国有垄断行业，这也侧面反映了中国企业产业结构调整仍然面临巨大挑战。
