From the Fortune 500, here are the biggest Chinese companies on the stock market:

Jardine Matheson
Aluminum Corp. of China
Here they are with with their turnover and profits (US$bn). They are ranked by turnover, not profits or market cap. Companies which are struck-through and italicized are state-owned enterprises, to give a sense of their importance to their Chinese economy.
These are the twenty stocks this website will be mostly keeping an eye on, as well news from state-owned enterprises and up-and-coming companies like Lenovo, Tencent and Sina.
EDIT
Further reading has shown me that China National Petroleum and Shenhua Group should be on the stock list, through their subsidiaries PetroChina and China Shenhua Energy. (This is one of the difficulties of the Chinese economy, where corporations can be state-owned and listed on the stock market). I have therefore updated the list of the top 20 stocks, with Jardine Matheson and Aluminum Corp of China being displaced. Apologies for any confusion at my error.
