Statistics showed that about 1/3 of sales revenue in China’s top 500 chemical enterprises came from non-chemical business. Nearly 80% of tire manufactures released half-year annual reports have announced their sales revenue’s decline.

Analysts said that the ranking only shows their equity size not their earning power, some of them are too big to strong.
