China second to US in web traffic: study 
San Francisco 
August 1 2002 
 
China is second only to the United States in Internet traffic, according
to a survey released yesterday. 
 
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.
