Lei Jun Succeeds Where Apple Failed: Building an Electric Car, According to Fortune
*Fortune* magazine’s “100 Most Influential Business Leaders Globally” list for 2025 is topped by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Chinese business leaders made a strong showing, with 11 representatives, including BYD’s Wang Chuanfu (5th). Xiaomi’s Lei Jun (16th) is highlighted for Xiaomi’s successful entry into the EV market with the SU7, surpassing Apple in this domain. Xiaomi aims to ship 350,000 cars this year, driven by a significant investment following their brief inclusion on a U.S. trade blacklist in 2021.
