China now has the most Internet users in the world
Posted on January 15, 2009 by Chris
I guess this was to be expected but a Chinese government research group is now reporting that China surpassed the United States in total Internet users in 2008.
“The number of Web surfers in the country grew by nearly 42 percent to 298 million, according to the China Internet Network Information Center’s January report. And there’s plenty of room for growth, as only about 1 in every 4 Chinese has Internet access.”
Of course, the majority of these users see the cleaned up version of the Internet that is presented by the great firewall of China but it is still pretty impressive. I wonder what 2009 and 2010 will bring?
