Definition
数千万 means 'tens of millions' (literally 'several thousand ten-thousands'). It is a quantity phrase used before nouns to indicate a large number, similar to 'several tens of millions' in English. Note: the input pinyin is shǔ, but the standard pronunciation is shù qiān wàn; the POS label 'm' (measure word) is also inaccurate — 数千万 functions as a numeral+classifier combination, not a standalone classifier.
