SHANGHAI -- More Chinese companies are recording the data they hold as assets on their balance sheets this fiscal year under new rules set by the government, as Beijing looks to gain an early-mover advantage in influencing international standards.
China Unicom, the country's third-largest wireless carrier, has touted its "real-time trillion-level processing capacity" for big data, pooled from its 345 million mobile customers, 121 million fixed-line broadband subscribers and 594 million connected Internet of Things devices.
