Jean Liu by Saiscuurrr from

When it comes to famous Chinese businesswomen, a number of Asian countries such as Singapore and the Philippines are still ahead. However, China is far ahead of Japan, where women own 17.3 percent of enterprises and Europe. Some argue that China’s one-child policy has resulted in an unanticipated increase in the number of female entrepreneurs. This policy has given women more time to focus on their businesses, education and other ambitions. Though just like any other country in the world it’s an uphill battle for women who have to climb the ladder so fearlessly. Though these 10 businesswomen are defying all odds with their ambition and have made it to this list.
