China has the largest number of regular Internet users
Posted by Alisa Zykova on July 28, 2008 at 3:03 PM
China has surged past the US as the country with the most Internet users, according to Gipp.ru
Today, around 253 million Chinese citizens access the Web on a regular basis. In the US, the amount adds up to 218 million users.
However, the figures do not point towards a digitalisation of the country, since only 19% of the 1.3 billion Chinese inhabitants use the Internet, reported Gipp.ru.
The part of the total population that has regular Web access is higher in countries like Russia (21%), South Korea (71%), the US (72%) and Iceland (85%).
