The BBC is reporting that China now has more than 253 million people on the Internet, compared to 223 million people in the US. This is more than any other country. About 95% of Chinese net users have a broadband connection. The penetration of Internet users in the US is 71%, but only 19% in China.The Chinese economy is about the size of Germany's economy which makes it the 3rd or 4th largest after the US and Japan. As the average standard of living for the masses in China increases, China will have the largest economy in the world in a few years.
