All reported counts, 2000-2024, and why the definitions matter

The full history has four distinct populations: nonbank above $3m in 2000-01; nonbank above $10m in 2002-06; including banks above $15m in 2007-11; including banks above $20m in 2012-24. The earlier levels are not joined to the current chart as a single comparable trend. Survey benchmarks also update coverage; a change is not necessarily a new firm or an exit. Macau is not supplied by these count tables and is not assigned zero.

Original annual tables

Affiliates operating in China

Separate annual country histories, with each source's actual reporting years and population. These count subsidiary or affiliate entities, not unique parent companies or offices. Country sources have different ownership, sector and reporting thresholds: they are not a matched ranking or a total to add together. The German source histories and the national/Eurostat Finnish and Swedish histories remain separate, not spliced. Shorter histories, missing or confidential values and methodology changes remain explicit.
