BEIJING, April 13 (Xinhua) -- China's listed internet companies worldwide see their market capitalization surge in the first quarter of 2019, according to a report released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).
The market capitalization of 172 listed Chinese internet companies amounted to 10.19 trillion yuan (about 1.52 trillion U.S. dollars) in Q1, up 27.4 percent month on month, the report showed.
