Talk:List of companies of China

Companies founded by Overseas Chinese

I'm puzzled by the inclusion of this section - has the founders of the listed companies in this section formally stated that their respective companies belongs to the PRC or is set up on behalf of the PRC, or is this section included because the founders are from the PRC but not necessarily have any affiliation with the nation? If it's the latter, I don't know if this section belongs in this article because we would have to list all the companies in each country (i.e. the United States) with founders of various nationalities as their country of origin being the nationality of the company (for example, Goldman Sachs would be listed as a German company because its founders were either from Germany or were first generation German-Americans).Satanstorm (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I've removed this for now until someone can clarify the original intent. Maybe it makes for sense to have a sub-article with this information? Right now, without specific inclusion criteria, it's impossible to maintain. Kuru (talk) 21:44, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Clean up 2012

This article seems to have devolved into a bit of a mess. There appears to be four separate lists; a random table of about a dozen firms, an alphabetical list, a list by sector, and a list of firms founded by "overseas chinese". I would propose merging all lists into the sector list, but dropping the "overseas" list as ill-defined. The criteria for inclusion seems to already be set at notable firms, so I'll clean that up at least. Please provide feedback on this proposal. Kuru (talk) 17:51, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

In view of the scale of the topic I strongly support removing all entries which do not have their own WP article.Rangoon11 (talk) 18:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. Without any other feedback, I'll work on merging the sections while retaining all of the additional information. One question: I can't seem to pinpoint a clear consensus on the inclusion of Macau and Hong Kong - as they have their own seperate lists, are they needed here? The discussion above is not clear to me. Kuru (talk) 21:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merge with the List of companies of Taiwan

Since China and Taiwan are the same country per the One China policy and the 1992 Consensus, I suggest that article should be merged with this article. 135.23.144.35 (talk) 00:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

• oppose - One China policy and the 1992 Consensus are political points of view. China and Taiwan are described as two different countries in this encyclopedia. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
