China’s online population was the largest in the world before too and it has increased by 40 million since January, the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing a report by the China Internet Network Information Center.
The number of broadband Internet connections increased by 10 million to 93.5 million in the first half of the year, and about 95 percent of townships were connected to broadband since last month and 92.5 percent of villages had telephone lines that could be used for Internet access.
