Globally, 9 countries have monopolized 53 companies worth billions of dollars, with China accounting for 13 and the United States holding 22.

The future of the competition between China and the United States will depend on these four major areas: energy, automobiles, ICT, and infrastructure.

These four major industries not only determine whether China can overtake and become the world's number one, but also provide you with future wealth indicators.

If a company can achieve a revenue of 100 billion US dollars, it is a very remarkable thing. A company with a revenue of 100 billion US dollars is a giant company that can influence the entire industry in any industry around the world, and is basically a globally influential company.

In this world, only 9 countries have companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars, all in Europe, America, and East Asia. Firstly, the United States, China, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, and then Switzerland, the Netherlands, and South Korea, which are among the top six countries in terms of economic strength.

There are billions of dollars in companies in the UK, and when you think about it, what do you know about British companies? Perhaps after thinking for a while, I can only think of a Rolls Royce, making both cars and aviation engines. In addition, there is ARM, which is not large in scale and has now been acquired by SoftBank.

Two hundred billion dollar companies in the UK, first BP Oil, and then Fortis Insurance. We can see that BP Petroleum Company has a lot of technological content. The extraction of oil and gas resources on Earth is high-tech, with the basic core technology in the hands of Europe and America. Outside of Europe and America, China's industrial chain is relatively complete.

It's a bit sad to think of the British empire where the national flag was always shining in the sun. Now BP is the only technology company with 100 billion dollars. When the Russo Japanese War broke out, the Japanese went to London to borrow money, which shows the status of Britain back then. In just 100 years, the world has changed.

France actually has three hundred billion dollar companies, AXA, Total, and BNP Paribas.

They are those who sell insurance, those who engage in oil, and those who earn interest. So don't always talk about Bank of China, two barrels of oil, insurance, and the like. The largest companies in France are also oil, insurance, and banks. The two largest companies in the UK are also oil and insurance companies.

The remaining three small countries are the Netherlands, Switzerland, and South Korea. It should be noted that the wealthy countries in the Middle East, India, a major country in South Asia, Russia under the leadership of the powerful Putin, the entire Africa, BRICS countries Brazil, Mexico, and so on do not have companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, these three countries actually have companies, indicating that these three small countries are still very excellent.

There is a hundred billion dollar company in South Korea, and you definitely know which one it is. This company is not worth 100 billion US dollars, but is worth 200 billion US dollars. This year, Samsung successfully surpassed Apple in quarterly profits, becoming one of the most profitable companies in the world. Yes, Samsung has the highest net profit in the world, making more money than Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of China, BP Petroleum, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Goldman Sachs.

Switzerland also has a 100 billion dollar company, Glencore, which is one of the largest companies in the world and ranks 16th in the world. It is a commodity trader who makes profits by buying and selling various commodities such as mines. The Swiss are skilled in financial capital operations.

The Netherlands is quite powerful, with two hundred billion dollar companies. One is Dutch Shell Oil, which is one of the top ten global companies, and the other is EXOR Group. This company is actually an Italian company, headquartered in the Netherlands. You may not have heard of EXOR Group, but you must have heard of Juventus, Ferrari, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, SGS, and so on. EXOR Group is the major shareholder of these companies.

In the eyes of the Chinese people, the Netherlands is undoubtedly a small country. In fact, the Netherlands is a world economic power, ranking 18th in the world. In terms of economic aggregate in Europe, apart from the well-known Germany, Britain, France, Italy, and Spain, it is the Netherlands, ranking sixth.

Next, let's take a look at the top four of the United States, China, Japan, and Germany. Of course, although they are in the top four, there is actually a huge gap.

Germany has four hundred billion dollar companies, one Allianz Insurance, and the other three are all automotive companies, Volkswagen, Daimler, and BMW. That's right, BMW is a hundred billion dollar company, and Germans firmly occupy the top of the automotive industry.

There are five billion dollar companies in Japan, one Japan Post, one Telecom NTT, and the other three are all automotive companies, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

The automotive industry is now the absolute pillar of Japan, and its rise and fall are closely related to Japan's national prosperity. In fact, Germany is also the same, and the automotive industry is now the largest pillar industry of the national economy.

The economic structures of Japan and Germany are bound to come to an end. E-commerce, mobile payments, high-speed logistics, artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, which represent the future development direction of humanity, are basically led by China and the United States, while Japan and Germany are greatly lagging behind. Once the world's leading electronic technology companies in both countries no longer have companies worth billions of dollars.

Then there are the two giants of China and the United States.

The United States has 22 companies worth billions of dollars, making it a superpower. But upon closer inspection, I feel a bit worried about the United States. Firstly, out of the 22 companies with billions of dollars, 6 are related to healthcare, which is also the industry with the highest number of companies with billions of dollars.

Express Pharmaceuticals Holdings Limited is engaged in pharmaceutical sales, prescription management, medical insurance, and accident recognition. CVS health: Retailers and healthcare providers. United Health Company is also a medical insurance and medical service related company, including Kangdeli Company, Meiyuan Bergen Company, and Maxon Company, all of which specialize in drug wholesale and distribution.

The healthcare system in the United States is extremely expensive, consuming a large amount of American income every year. We also know that Chinese people who go to the United States must buy medical insurance, otherwise in the event of illness or accidental injury, the cost of emergency and hospitalization treatment is skyrocketing.

No wonder every time a US presidential election or a new president takes office, healthcare system reform is a top priority in governance and campaigning. Just the top six US companies, each earning billions of dollars, can tell how much of the US national income flows to this industry.

Like the two largest companies above, United Health has a revenue of $184.84 billion, ranking 13th in the Fortune 500; CVS Health has a revenue of $177.5 billion, ranking 14th in the world.

Other companies with a billion dollar scale include:

Two financial and banking companies: JPMorgan Chase Bank and Fannie Mae.

One insurance company: Berkshire Hathaway, which is the world's largest insurance company with a revenue of $205 billion in 2016 and also makes many investments.

Two companies in the petrochemical industry: ExxonMobil and Chevron.

There are 4 retail businesses: Kroger Group, Wobolin, Costco and Wal Mart. Among them, Wal Mart is the largest company in the world, with revenue of $485.87 billion in 2016. The second company in the world is China National Grid, with revenue of $315.2 billion, only about 60% of Wal Mart.

Two telecommunications companies: Verizon, AT&T

Five companies in the technology industry: General Electric, Amazon, Ford, General Motors, and Apple.

If we only look at the billions of dollars worth of companies in the United States, we can see that the most technologically advanced companies that can be considered the backbone of the United States are still the ICT industry, the automotive industry, and the energy industry, with a total of 8 companies.

Among them, there are 4 ICT industry companies, Amazon, Apple, Verizon, AT&T; 2 cars; Three energy companies: ExxonMobil, Chevron, and General Electric. General Electric is actually a comprehensive industrial group, for example, it also produces medical equipment. General Electric manufactures a large number of energy equipment, including generators, oil production equipment, and so on.

Okay, now it's time to take stock of China's super companies.

There are a total of 53 billion dollar companies worldwide, including 22 in the United States, 5 in Japan, 4 in Germany, 3 in France, 2 in the UK and the Netherlands, 1 each in Switzerland and South Korea, totaling 40 companies. Did you notice that al
