Chinese Companies Listed on Major U.S. Stock Exchanges
Last updated: October 2, 2020 Chinese Companies Listed on Major U.S. Stock Exchanges This table includes Chinese companies listed on the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, and NYSE American, the three 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. -

Beyond Traditional Mobile Linux by Carsten “Stskeeps” Munk, Mer project architect http://www.merproject.org Mobile Linux up to 2011 ● Moblin, MeeGo, Maemo, LiMo, OpenEmbedded (Yocto, WebOS), OpenWRT, etc.. ● OpenMoko-centric (QtMoko, FSO/SHR, etc.) ● Android (Replicant, Ophone, Baidu Yi, B2G, etc.) ● Familiar, Access Linux Platform, Ubuntu Mobile/MID, Mobilinux ● ... and many many more What do most of them have in common? ● Many of them are now dead or zombie projects. ● Many were centric around specific vendors or specific devices. ● Many of them were wasted effort for the Mobile Linux community.

The Development and Evolution of China's Mobile Phone Industry
Working Paper Series No.2013-1 The Development and Evolution of China’s Mobile Phone Industry Shin-Horng Chen and Pei-Chang Wen April, 2013 Chung‐Hua Institution for Economic Research 1 The Development and Evolution of China’s Mobile Phone Industry Shin‐Horng Chen and Pei‐Chang Wen Chung‐Hua Institution for Economic Research, Taiwan Abstract This paper examines the development and evolution of China’s mobile phone industry, with a special focus on the effect of migration to smartphones on the industrial ecosystem and industrial transformation. The Chinese market was dominated not long ago by Shanzhai handset makers, which were often associated with notorious elements of bandit, copy cats, piracy, and illegal network access. However, in the migration from 2G to 3G and smartphones in China, a few home‐grown brands have become the leading suppliers of smartphones, outperforming international premium brands, such as Nokia, Motorola and even Apple. With an intensive case study, the paper takes into account the significance of layered platform‐based development in the migration towards smartphones and mobile digital services to examine the rise of the Chinese brands for smartphones. In addition, the paper discusses a co‐evolution process of social and market factors in shaping Chinese “good‐enough innovations”, highlighting the role of distinct demands in the Chinese market and the growing popularity of mobile internet services within Chinese walled garden with heavy regulations and censorship. Moreover, the paper discusses the role of industrial standards in the Chinese migration of smartphones, by referring to a “three‐level model for standards and innovation in ICT”, including the infrastructure, middleware (service platform) and application levels. -
