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.中國已超越美國作為世界上最大的用戶在互聯網上，由於增加了超過61 ％的人在該國使用Web在過去的一年多2.21億中國人在線上月底2月相比， 1.37億，在2007年開始，並列第一的地方，與美國。 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.但專家指出，號碼是肯定有急劇上升，在過去幾個星期，把中國在無可爭議的頭號地位。
Despite the substantial increase, internet penetration in China remains low given the size of the population.儘管大幅增加，互聯網普及率在中國仍然很低，由於人口規模。 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 ％的國家的1300000000頃在線相比，與世界平均水平的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.專家們指出，這一數字將迅速膨脹，在未來數年內，作為億萬中國仍然勞苦作為低工資的農民或工人的經驗，增加他們的收入，這將使他們能夠上網。 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中國，北京的科技公司估計，中國的網絡人口將增長約18 ％的一年，把總在4.90億到2012年-多人口的美國。

The carefully policed Great Firewall of China, which blocks searches for content considered subversive or pornographic, has also turned its spotlight on these sites.精心警力偉大的防火牆的中國，這大廈搜索的內容考慮顛覆或色情，也把其焦點在這些網站上。 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.上個月，政府說，它將關閉25個視頻網站和懲治， 32人因違反新的規則對進行內容被視為色情，暴力或對安全的威脅。

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.它一直是強大的工具，溝通，在過去幾天裡，當互聯網用戶-的支持手機短信-試圖動員在全國范圍內的抵制家樂福，法國的超級市場被指控支持達賴喇嘛。
