Rural Chinese get online as mobile overtakes desktop.
The total number of the Internet users reached 538 million
in China alone. This number itself is staggering but it is more amazing to learn
that roughly 70% of them are connected via mobile phones. The majority of the
increase seems to come from rural areas, presumably farmers and their families
who couldn’t otherwise have the Internet connection. The impact of this
increasing number of mobile internet users, surfers, bloggers and twitters is
huge as the government’s proud Great Firewall of China, which monitors and
constraints the web traffic, is facing difficulty chasing mobile apps. This is
making it more challenging for the sole ruling party to govern of the most
populated nation whose people seem to be often very vocal and active in social
movement.
Enjoy reading and
learning from the article.
