TREE NEWS update: The All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce released the 2026 China Top 500 Private Enterprises list in Tianjin on September 22, with JD.com, Alibaba (China) Co., Ltd. and Hengli Group taking the top three spots. The ranking came from the federation’s 28th survey of large-scale private firms, covering 6,350 companies with 2025 revenue above 1 billion yuan, of which the top 500 by revenue made the list.

The list's composition is the signal: e-commerce and manufacturing conglomerates still occupy the top, suggesting scale in traditional private sectors remains the benchmark rather than newer tech or digital-asset categories. The survey's reach across thousands of billion-yuan firms makes it a useful gauge of private-sector concentration, though it says little about profitability or international exposure. Whether next year's ranking shows any shift toward firms tied to crypto, tokenization or cross-border digital infrastructure is the open question.
