The 2022 Brand Value List of Chinese Listed Companies was jointly launched by National Business Daily (NBD) and the China Business Research Center under the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University (Tsinghua SEM), and supported by NBD Think Tank.

The Top 50 Chinese Listed Companies by Brand Value Overseas List selected the top 50 overseas brand values of all Chinese mainland companies listed on the global market before Jan 1.

Amid the pressure of rising sea freight costs, increasing raw material prices and global COVID-19 outbreaks, Haier and Hisense maintained an overseas income growth in 2021.
