By all measures, Beijing's T3 surpasses London's T5.
Whereas T5 can handle only 12,000 bags an hour (when it handles them at all) and 30 million passengers per year, T3 can handle 20,000 bags an hour and 50 million passengers.
While T5 will mostly service British Airways, T3 will service Air China and two dozen other airlines.
