China now #1 web users country

China has overtaken the United States in online presence as more Chinese citizens use the worldwide web. The largest country in terms of population is now also world’s largest Internet population. The China Internet Network Information Centre reported Friday that the country had 253 million netizens as of end of June, up by 56 percent from last year. In comparison, research company Nielsen Online reported 223.1 million Internet users in the U.S. in June.

However, China has only 19 percent of its population enjoying Internet access, far off from the U.S.’s 71 per cent and the global average of 21 percent. A majority of China’s cyber citizens are high school students at 39 million of the 43 million new netizens added in 2007. Ages below 30 comprise 69 percent of total web users. The government closely monitors the country’s Internet usage, however, online commerce, video sharing and other businesses among Chinese have been proliferating in the web.

    It just means their internet is better then ours, example US has crappy connections, since most of its areas are rural, dry land, to much area to cover. Not like china, they are all gathered up.

    The Internet connection is much better in US first of all it is NOT blocked/limited or controlled by the government as much as in China and second it is faster.

    I don’t think that fiber is what they use in China or that they have 10 gbit up and down, or 100 mbit, only few places for business not for all the population.

    You can say that China has more users on the Internet, but US or EU has more Internet, if you know what I mean.

    Anybody knows if EU has more users than China or US?

    ANOTHER person believes that all RMT are Chinese and from China!

    That is not true most of the time. I am Chinese and find that offensive. I’ve met some RMT which are from America, there is a reason why they hold the company in China though.

    Its same reason as why Piratebay isn’t situated in USA, Legal reasons basically.

    RMT Companies are created in China companies cannot touch them due to no laws about it.

    Trying googling Judicial Inc in France and probably a dozen other websites critical of Jews and zionism and they will be blocked. In European librarys they have an “intolerance” filter and the US’s domestic gestapo the ADL created a web filter for internet in librarys, etc.

    Israel has owned the US for decades all the media news and entertainment is owned by Jews and not just big media but local papers as well thats why to press in the US is pro immigration.

    Oh and you racist morons – you know who you are – try growing up. It’s probably for the best some of you don’t get the chance to breed. Better to have millions of polite people than more of you.

    Also some of you rednecks, since you sadly somehow managed to find your way online – you might want to research just how much of the USA is owned by people from abroad. Including the truly massive amount owned by China. Yes you heard me right. China (and other countries) own America. Literally.

    Jews do not own the media you twat.
    The reason so many politicians say “We are a friend of Israel but an enemy of Iran” is nothing to do with a nice little country for the Jews to live in peace. It’s all about pipelines coming from the North with oil & gas. Empire building. Ancient Rome. The Great Game.
    Oh, and China’s in Darfur, picking up all the Plutonium that the dumb USA never saw 20 years ago, back when they were hanging around out there, but were too dumb too notice.

    Jews say they do own the media.

    “Four of the largest five entertainment giants are now run or owned by Jews. Murdoch’s News Corp (at number four) is the only
    gentile holdout — however Rupert is as pro-Israel as any Jew, probably more so.” (Los Angeles Jewish Times242 Oct. 29. 1999)

  72. mikec
    July 28th, 2008 | 19:56

    I suggest that we count each Chinese net user as equal to one-half of a normal net user; so that they really have only 125 million users.

    Because the Chinese Government allows its citizens to view only about one-half of what is on the internet, we should adjust the statistic accordingly. By giving the PRC the title of world leader, we simply give honor to a slave state that treats it people like you would treat your dog or cat or pet cricket.

    OR EVEN MORE TO THE POINT…

    Because its slaves are deprived of full access to the internet, we might say that there are ZERO users of the real internet in the PRC. This can be justified by defining a “user” as one who actually has ACCESS to the internet, not just the slave version.

    Thus, the Peoples Republic of China leads in the Slave Version, but is dead last in human version.

  75. mikec
    July 29th, 2008 | 01:28

    To @74

    Say, big man. Do you have ANY evidence of the US government blocking ANY web site. If you have the evidence, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU will have the blocking agency in federal court within the Month. (gambling and child porn excluded)

    I sense that you are an ill informed rumor maker… or are you one of these know-nothing slaves who thinks he KNOWS something because he is ON THE INTERNET, and his little slave fingers can push the mouse across the government shaped little slave content?

    Do you have the evidence, pal?

    The US government constantly steps out of line, but we have court enforced rule of law here, and we kick their ass.

    See here
    http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/SCOTUS/story?id=5048935&page=1

    where Bushed got his little butt kicked by the US Supreme court a few weeks ago.

    It may take a few years, but the United States rule of law compared to PRC slave rules is like Manchester United against your kindergarten. Ever see a slave’s head kicked through the goal posts?

    Show us your evidence, @74… put up or shut up.

    Note to the few because most posters here are not in slave states… e.g. Russia, etc.: Consider this Democracy for Dummies. and there is a lot more where this comes from.

    Takers?
