12 Chinese companies made it to the Future 50 index this year. Alibaba and Tencent made it to the list but the top 3 highest-ranked Chinese companies are TAL Education Group, WuXi AppTec, and Haidilao.

The index assesses the long-term growth prospects of large public companies and identifies who comes out on top, based on two pillars: a "top-down" market-based assessment of a company’s potential and a "bottom-up" analysis of its capacity to deliver growth.
