China Internet Users at 210 Million

Beijing, (Prensa Latina) China finished 2007 with 210 million internet users, the second worldwide after the US, announced Internet Information Center in this Asian nation.

This makes us think that China will soon exceed the number one for the number of users online, since the difference is only five million.

According to the Center, around 73 million Chinese citizens began to use internet last year.

Forty percent of them, that is nearly 30 million, live in rural areas where the total has already reached up to 52.6 million in 2007.

The source noted that 86.6 percent of the people connected to the web use Internet to listen to music and 81.4 percent for telecommunication in real time.
