Adsotrans:

top one-hundred

top 100

  • Cebu Pacific calls themselves a 百强企业 on their advertisements
  • 蓝润集团 calls themselves 百强蓝润 on their advertisements

Fortune Five Hundred translates as 五百强, I can't imagine that Cebu or Lanrun would make the Fortune 100.

What's the scope of 百强?

Top one hundred -of- what?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is too narrow and is not really about Chinese language or culture. I haven't heard any other business affix their name in this way.

百强 means top 100. The name 百强蓝润 is just to emphasize they are being on top 100

I'm fairly sure just like in English it means top 100 of ANY list.

For example, Lanrun is top 100 in the housing industry in China: http://house.baidu.com/sc/scan/0/5986738501256011448/

  • Sure, but isn't going around calling yourself 百强蓝润, as opposed to 房地产前百强蓝润, a little bit ambiguous, let alone misleading?

  • I mean lots of stores everywhere do this... Like for example, Best Buy implicitly states that they are the best, which is misleading/advertisement at best.

(#)强 means top (#) of any possible kind of list.

But apparently 五百强 became an expression to also express Fortune Five Hundred.
