1. Sinopec

2008 sales: $208 billion

China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., known more briefly as Sinopec, supplies 80% of China's fuel and is Asia's biggest oil refiner.

Lower oil prices earlier this year helped Sinopec, which has to buy its oil before converting it to fuel. It posted record earnings in the second quarter, and said relaxed government rules could help future earnings.

Since the 1950s, Chinese government regulations had prevented Sinopec and other refiners from raising fuel prices when oil spiked in an effort to combat inflation. But new rules put in place in January call for a market-based system to determine pricing.

2. China National Petroleum

2008 sales: $181 billion

Otherwise known as PetroChina, the world's largest company by market value boosted oil production this year amid rising oil prices and China's accelerating economy.

Last year marked its seventh straight year of increased output even as China's GDP growth slowed. And 2009 is widely expected to be number eight

In the second quarter, PetroChina earned $4.6 billion as Big Oil competitors like Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell posted declines. Its stock has risen 35% this year, allowing it to overtake Exxon as the world's biggest company by market cap.

3. State Grid

2008 sales: $164 billion

China's biggest power company oversees energy lines across the entire country -- reaching more than 1 billion people.

In a bid to reduce its dependence on coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions, State Grid announced plans this year to build a smart grid by 2020. The plan could also lead to State Grid providing more sustainable energy.

Last year the high price of coal used in the company's power plants led to rolling power shortages in the country, but long-term prospects for State Grid look promising: China's power demand and supply are expected to double by 2020.

4. ICBC

2008 sales: $71 billion

For decades, the world's largest bank resided in New York City or London. Not anymore. State-owned Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) is worth $236 billion in market value -- $40 billion more than its closest rival, Britain's HSBC. Since going public in 2006, the Beijing bank has grown to nearly 200 million customers.

Like many of China's mega-companies, government help has spurred the bank's growth. ICBC got a government bailout in 2005 after it wrote down a series of bad loans to Chinese businesses. A year later, ICBC received tax breaks before its record IPO. A cleaner balance sheet and China's hot GDP growth could keep the bank in the black. In the first half of 2009, it earned $9.4 billion.

5 China Mobile

2008 sales: $65 billion

With half a billion customers and control of 70% of the wireless market, China Mobile is the country's dominant provider. And unlike the U.S. wireless market, where 9 of 10 consumers already have a cell phone plan, China is only 50% penetrated, leaving plenty of growth left for the cell phone company

But competition is heating up. Profits declined in the latest quarter for the first time in a decade, according to Bloomberg data, as China Mobile waged price wars with high-speed mobile newcomers China Telecom and China Unicom.

Expect China Mobile to continue growing as it expands service to rural areas. Its low-cost plans and phones could attract many of the countryside's 800 million residents.

6. China Construction Bank

2008 sales: $58 billion

China Construction Bank is one of the country's Big Four state-owned banks. Founded in the 1950s to spur Chinese infrastructure projects, it grew to be the top mortgage and real estate lender until ICBC climbed ahead last year.

It ranks as China's No. 2 bank with a market value of $200 billion. Shares rocketed up by 54% this year as it lent record sums for China's $585 billion stimulus package.

But massive outflows may slow down. China Construction said it would cut loans by 70% to $30 billion for the second half of 2009 after the government reigned in lending amid fears of asset bubbles.

7. China Life Insurance

2008 sales: $55 billion

The country's largest life insurance company controls nearly half the market. After going public in 2003, China Life has also opened asset management and pension businesses to diversify.

That's been a mixed blessing. The world's largest life insurer was burned by the stock markets last year. Profits fell 45% to $3 billion. Yet, its core strategy of selling more life insurance policies looks promising. China's growing, urban middleclass is able to afford life and health insurance, and products like annuities. As more villagers move to cities, the demographics are in China Life's favor.

8. Bank of China

2008 sales: $51 billion

Bank of China is the most recognizable of the country's Big Four banks, with branches from Paris to New York.

Founded a century ago, it has served as China's central bank, foreign exchange bank, and most recently, a top commercial lender with divisions in investment banking and retail banking. Like the rest of the Big Four, Bank of China is dramatically scaling back loans after China's $585 billion economic stimulus boosted profits this year. The government cut lending amid worries of bubbles and bad loans. 9. Agricultural bank of china, 2008 sales: $48 billionAs the name implies, Agricultural Bank of China has focused on lending in the country's rural districts. It's the fourth largest of China's state-owned Big Four banks -- boasting some 350 million customers and 24,000 branches.

Investors are buzzing over an IPO, but AgBank remains the only big state-owned bank yet to list shares publicly.

AgBank was in terrible shape in just two years ago before a $30 billion government bailout. Loan losses remain double the rate of the other Big Four and expenses for its massive branch network in rural areas have crimped earnings. 10. Sinochem, 2008 sales: $44 billionState-owned Sinochem is one of China's largest umbrella companies, with businesses in oil, agriculture pesticides, financial services and high-end real estate. Three of those subsidiaries are publicly listed and recently have been aggressively acquiring market share.

This November its energy arm -- China's No. 4 oil company -- will bid for Iraqi oil fields; in September, its fertilizer, pesticide and seed business targeted an Australian firm with a $2.4 billion offer.
