The China State Construction Engineering Corp., the world’s largest construction firm by revenue, is behind such iconic projects as Beijing’s new phoenix-shaped Daxing Airport, Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai, and the Doha Tower in Dubai. In 2020 the state-backed company’s revenue grew 13.7% to $250 billion. It won bids in China to build an exhibition center in Tianjin and new metro lines in Xi’an. The CSCEC also played a key role in China’s COVID-19 response, constructing 119 emergency hospitals in China amid the pandemic. Famously, Beijing commissioned CSCEC to build a two-floor hospital in Wuhan with 1,000 beds and 30 intensive care units in under 10 days in February 2020 as COVID-19 first spread in the city.
