"China's Internet Industry is booming. More than 22 million Chinese subscribed to Internet Access last year, bringing the total amount of Chinese on-line to over 80 million. That makes China second only to the US in Internet Subscribers, and conservative estimates project over 155 million Chinese on-line by 2006, easily overtaking the US . Incredible potential still exists in the internet-technology sector when China's total population is considered."

I would say they are getting there... Fast !
