Chinese Netizens

In the news today . . .

Not only does China have the largest population in the world, but it has just passed the U.S. in internet users with 253 million Chinese internet users at the end of June. Wow, no wonder my internet connection always seems a little bogged down over there . . . According to the article, China passes the U.S. in internet users with only about 19% of its population online while the U.S. has about 71% of its population on the web. I'm sure there are many ways to analyze that statistic and many projections to be made from it, but it just reminds me once again of how many Chinese people there are.
