China Internet users are increasing

At present, the number of Chinese web users reached 298 million people - approximately half the population of a country like the United States. However, it is only 23% of the total population of China.

In general, if we compare the relative performance, that the U.S. is still the leader: about 73% of Americans are Internet users.

However, the total number of Internet users, China is the leader, since June last year.

Interestingly, the number of Internet resources in China is growing exponentially, despite all the prohibitions and blocking the Chinese authorities. For example, last week, Chinese authorities have blocked 91 of the site due to the fact that their content contrary to Chinese law.
