China's population is big -- 1.4 billion big -- and its internet user population is creeping toward similar heights.
A government department called the China Internet Network Information Center ran a report to find out just how many citizens were jumping online. The result was 802 million, and the agency estimates that 29.68 million of those people came online only recently, in the first half of this year, as pointed out by Bloomberg.
This is the first time China's internet using population has crossed the 800 million mark, according to the report. For perspective, that number is greater than the internet populations of Japan, Russia and the US combined.

We are responsible contractors, you understand, so we'll just have to check up on you. And, if we find a single Chinese school kid who was harmed in any way - - - well, you can imagine the consequences!
