At 134 million in 2006, China already had the world's second-largest Internet population

According to predictions in eMarketer's new report, China Online Overview, the country's online population is growing 30% a year, and will soon pass the US to have the most Internet users in the world. China also has plenty of room to grow online. Since only 10.5% of Chinese used the Internet in 2006, according to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), eMarketer expects the number of Chinese online to reach 245.5 million by 2012. Two-thirds of Chinese Internet users had broadband service in 2006.
