China Has the Most Number of Internet Users
According to recent news, China has the most number of internet users worldwide with an estimated 253 million users. The Philippines is not far behind although at this point, I do not know the estimated figure. I will update this post when I get my hands on the statistics of internet users in the Philippines.
China’s fast-growing population of Internet users, the Associated Press reported, has surpassed the United States to become the world’s biggest, with 253 million people online at the end of June, the government reported Friday.
China’s Web usage is growing at explosive rates despite government efforts to block access to sites deemed subversive or pornographic. The financial size of China’s online market, though, still trails those of the United States, South Korea and other countries.
The latest figure on Internet users is a 56 percent increase from a year ago, the China Internet Network Information Center said.
“This is the first time the number has drastically surpassed the United States, becoming the world’s No. 1,” a CNNIC statement said.
The United States had an estimated 223.1 million Internet users in June, according to Nielsen Online, a research firm.
China’s Internet penetration is still low at just 19.1 percent, leaving more room for rapid growth, according to CNNIC. The Pew Internet and American Life Project places US online penetration at 71 percent.
This news is expected knowing that China is the most populated country in the world. India is next.
