China announced the list of the country's top 200 exporters of the year 2000 here Thursday, with the Shanghai-based Oriental International (Group) Ltd. heading the list with a total export volume of 2.182 billion US dollars.
The second through tenth largest exporters of the country were: China National Chemicals Import and Export Corp.

Sinopec International remained the country's biggest company with a total import and export volume of 12.011 billion U.S. dollars.
An analysis by MOFTEC says those who edged upward in the namelist of 200 strongest exporters and 500 biggest foreign trade companies were mainly large industrial and trade companies and foreign-invested companies. State-owned foreign trade companies went down on the list.
In addition, the number of companies of information industry and hi-tech and new technological companies clearly increased and climbed upward. The number of state-owned companies decreased in the list while the number of foreign-invested and collectively- owned firms surged.
The 200 biggest exporters sold a total of 73.6 billion U.S. dollars worth of China-made commodities and services, accounting for nearly 30 percent of China's overall exports last year.
The trade volume of the 500 biggest foreign trade companies added up to 204.1 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 43 percent of China's total foreign trade volume.
