Chinese banks dominate the top three spots on the latest list of Forbes Global 2000, one of the most authoritative rankings of the world’s largest public companies.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC ), China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China fill the leading positions, with their market caps reaching US$198 billion, US$162.8 billion and US$152.7 billion respectively.

The top 10 list shows the dominance of the U.S. and China in the world's business landscape, with only Japan’s Toyota Motor being the company not from these two countries.
