Report

α "deposits, loans, number of customers and number of employees" is copy of the attached wikipedia-content to source: relbanks, content source-wikipedia is a semantic exact match (re-worded)

β source: relbanks shows figures only for "assets"

γ "the first of any Chinese bank to have achieved this" is not possible to confirm is true, at least because the sources; Economist - referent 11, The Banker - referent 12, < both not possible to verify, "..closely watched annual report by The Banker is based on a firm's Tier 1 capital,..." = BBC - referent 10, does concur to content associated intra-wikipedia (as shown in this section @ "α")

moved content (is a repetion, only, of preceding content) is not true, vague "generally considered" pertains to the year (sourced as) 2013, content is actually not true of source (referent 14)

moved content:

ICBC is generally considered the largest public company in the world by assets alone.
