Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (BAT), Huawei, and Jindong (JD) most famously epitomise Chinese innovation.

However they are being pushed by ever more radical Chinese companies such as Meituan Dianping (China's leading services provider), Xiaomi (China's second largest smartphone maker), Bytedance (the most valuable start-up globally and creator of Tiktok), and Pinduoduo (China's third biggest e-commerce company).

Others include Didi (ride-hailing), Kuaishou (social media), Weibo (social media), and Realme (smartphones) amongst many others.

Already Alibaba leads global e-commerce by market-share, gross merchandise volume, and users, DJI is the world market leader of drones, and Huawei leads global 5G infrastructure construction.
