I mean, off the top of my head Samsung is pretty huge and a daily part of life for a lot of people.
It operates businesses in sectors like chipmaking, construction, IT, chemicals, power plants, shipbuilding, etc.
If you've seen a Samsung container ship, or a Samsung-built building (Burj Khalifa, Petronas Towers), you'll have gotten a glimpse at their size and scope.
Their consumer-facing businesses are just the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe on a normalized basis the picture looks a little different?
Also, totally unrelated, and I've never been to China, but based on the observations of Connie Chan (of Andreesen-Horowitz), it seems China has a bunch of innovations in the retail space [1] that most Americans aren't aware of. US innovation is still dominant no doubt, but I'm always fascinated by innovations that we don't hear about because it gives us a sense of perspective in the world.
