The usage of Internet in China has
improved in the past few years and the percentage of Internet usage was 1.8% in
the year 2001 according to a report of 2015 the percentage has gradually
increased to 45.8 %. Presently and the population of Chinese people in online
is 668 million and 75 percentage of the people using internet are living in
urban areas. There are many social networks available in China in some of them
are QZone, Sina Weibo, Youku, Tencent Weibo, Renren and Tudou. Meanwhile the
instant messaging applications such as QQ messenger WeChat marketing are also dominating
many people in China. Around 95% of Chinese people are being the member in any
of the social networking sites.
Progress
of internet usage in China
Recently a survey reports that China is
using plenty of E-Commerce sites comparing other countries in the world. Nearly
75% of people in China have purchased various items on e-commerce websites in
the last month. Though the Chinese people are being very active in Internet and
they still do not have proper interactions and brand advertisements through
Internet when compared with the Internet users in western countries. For
example a recent study mentions that were only 75 percentage of Chinese people
have visited the branded websites where 44 percentage of us people visits brand
websites for various reasons. This shows how the Chinese people are lagging in
attaining the quality online service or content.
Generally Chinese people use to spend
around 6 hours in online in a day Meanwhile the time they spend on the mobile
device have also increased to 35 percentage in the last 3 years. The percentage
is being increased for every 2.25 hours in a day. Hence without any doubt the
mobile Internet will develop in Chinese economic as well as cultural
significance. Already the usage of smartphones in China has increased to 87 %
it is 75 percentage of global average. If this is progressing to the further
levels then the experience of mobile internet in China will also improve all
over the world and there is no doubt about it.
