China reasserted itself as the world’s largest Internet market with 253 million total users by the end of June, the China Internet Network Information Centre said Wednesday in its semiannual report (Chinese).
However, despite maintaining its dominance over the U.S., total Internet penetration remains below 20 percent, reaching just 19.1 percent of the population, the report said. CNNIC defines an Internet user as anyone age 6 and above who used the Internet at least once per month for any purpose, accessing the Internet from a desktop computer, laptop or mobile phone.
