January 18th 2008 21:11
China had 210 million internet users by the end of 2007 and will soon have more users than any other country, the government-linked China Internet Network Information Centre said in a report.
China’s online population is only five million less than the US, and the report predicts that at the beginning of 2008, China will become the country with the largest online population in the world.
China already has the globe’s biggest mobile phone user population, numbering 539.4 million at the end of November, according to government figures.
China added 73 million new online users last year, especially in rural areas, where the number of internet users reached 52.6 million by the end of 2007, a 127.7 percent from a year earlier.
