I don't know what will happen to China but both China and US have high hitters in the TOP100 lists and both have lower life quality than EU and Japan. What if giant corporations aren't predictor of anything but problems? Giant corporations don't actually innovate much, the thing about them is that they can extract money from the society without doing much innovation. They are bean counters. Having the biggest bean counters isn't as cool as a TOP100 lists imply. If you read closely, you will notice that TOP100 lists are curated by some bean counting metrics, not innovation or anything like that. TOP100 by capital is where innovation goes to die. The best they can do is to buy startups and try to stay relevant when actual inventors invents stuff.
