Definition
一百亿 is the Chinese way of expressing the number 10,000,000,000 (ten billion). In Chinese numeral system, numbers are grouped by 10,000 (万) rather than 1,000, so 一百亿 literally means 'one hundred 亿' (亿 = 100,000,000). This word is typically used as a noun (a quantity) or numeral, not as a measure word. The POS tag 'm' (measure word) appears to be a data error; this character is not a classifier.
m
