But the US still held a commanding lead in this category, according to WebSideStory, an Internet analysis firm. According to the company, China accounted for 6.63 per cent of global internet traffic, second only to the US, which accounts for some 42.65 per cent of online activity worldwide. Behind China, by percentage, is Japan (5.24 per cent), Britain (3.94 per cent), Canada (3.93 per cent) and Germany (3.64 per cent). The online analysis company said its figures show that the Asian markets are fast emerging as a leader in online usage. Last year Germany was second behind the US with 5.56 per cent of Internet users. "We're seeing China and other countries grow into significant players on the web," said WebSideStory vice-president Geoff Johnston. "Businesses should take note of this as they develop their online strategies." The company, through its StatMarket division, bases its numbers on surveys of millions of internet users accessing some 125,000 sites worldwide. The increase in Asian Internet usage comes at a time when the Chinese government has been cracking down on web access, closing Internet cafes and asking Internet companies to sign promises that they will not post content offensive to the Chinese government. Yahoo! China has signed that pact, Yahoo! officials in the US have confirmed. A group of 18 Chinese dissidents and intellectuals on Monday published a "declaration of Internet users' rights" in protest of this pact. The declaration calls for complete freedom for Chinese people to surf the Internet. The Beijing government's official estimate showed some 46 million Internet users in China in June, but some private surveys put the number at above 50 million. Online rating service Nielsen/NetRatings said recently that 56.6 million Chinese live in Internet-connected homes, making China second only to the United States in the number of home Internet users.
