China has overtaken the US as the world’s biggest user of the internet, thanks to a rise of more than 61 per cent of people in the country using the web in the past year. More than 221 million Chinese were online at the end of February compared with 137 million at the start of 2007, tying for first place with the United States.中国已超越美国作为世界上最大的用户在互联网上，由于增加了超过61 ％的人在该国使用Web在过去的一年多2.21亿中国人在线上月底2月相比， 1.37亿，在2007年开始，并列第一的地方，与美国。 But experts say that the number is sure to have risen steeply in the past few weeks, placing China in the undisputed number one position.但专家指出，号码是肯定有急剧上升，在过去几个星期，把中国在无可争议的头号地位。
Despite the substantial increase, internet penetration in China remains low given the size of the population.尽管大幅增加，互联网普及率在中国仍然很低，由于人口规模。 Only 16 per cent of the country’s 1.3 billion are online compared with a world average of 19 per cent.只有16 ％的国家的1300000000顷在线相比，与世界平均水平的19 ％ 。
Experts say that the number will swell rapidly in the next few years as hundreds of millions of Chinese still toiling as low-paid farmers or labourers experience a rise in their incomes that will enable them to go online.专家们指出，这一数字将迅速膨胀，在未来数年内，作为亿万中国仍然劳苦作为低工资的农民或工人的经验，增加他们的收入，这将使他们能够上网。 BDA China, a Beijing technology company, estimates that China’s web population will grow by about 18 per cent a year, putting the total at 490 million by 2012 – more than the population of the United States.公司BDA中国，北京的科技公司估计，中国的网络人口将增长约18 ％的一年，把总在4.90亿到2012年-多人口的美国。

The carefully policed Great Firewall of China, which blocks searches for content considered subversive or pornographic, has also turned its spotlight on these sites.精心警力伟大的防火墙的中国，这大厦搜索的内容考虑颠覆或色情，也把其焦点在这些网站上。 Last month the Government said that it would shut down 25 video sites and punish 32 others for violating new rules against carrying content deemed pornographic, violent or a threat to security.上个月，政府说，它将关闭25个视频网站和惩治， 32人因违反新的规则对进行内容被视为色情，暴力或对安全的威胁。
The most commonly blocked searches are for words such as Taiwan independence, Tibet, the Dalai Lama or the Falun Gong, the banned quasi-religious sect.最常见的拦截搜查，为的词语，如台湾独立，西藏，达赖喇嘛或法轮功，禁止准教派。 These are topics of less interest to most Chinese than detailed news of the torch relay, results of the latest Manchester United match or gossip about Brad Pitt.这些都是课题，少的利益，以大多数中国人较详细的消息，火炬接力，结果最新的曼彻斯特联队比赛或闲话约布拉德·皮特。
Another reason for the mushrooming popularity of the internet has been a regulatory quirk.另一个原因为mushrooming的受欢迎程度，互联网已成为监管奎克。 Fixed-line phone companies are losing potential new customers to mobile phone services but are barred from entering that market themselves.固定线路电话公司正在失去潜在的新客户，以流动电话服务，但被禁止进入市场。 So they are trying to bring in new revenues by promoting low-cost broadband internet access.因此，他们正试图带来新的收入，促进低成本的无线宽带互联网接入。 This has brought high-speed service to millions more Chinese.这带来了超高速服务的数以百万计更多的中国人。
It has been a powerful tool for communication in the past few days when internet users – backed by mobile phone text messaging – tried to mobilise a nationwide boycott of Carrefour, the French supermarket accused of supporting the Dalai Lama.它一直是强大的工具，沟通，在过去几天里，当互联网用户-的支持手机短信-试图动员在全国范围内的抵制家乐福，法国的超级市场被指控支持达赖喇嘛。
