Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China's netizens pass the 1 billion mark
10 years ago, there were about 668 million internet users in China.
Now, there are over one billion netizens, according to a report by China’s
Internet Network Information Center. It seems that everyone but those who are
too old or too young to use a smartphone has access to the Internet. Most of the
internet users in China access the internet through mobile devices. They enjoy
activities like social media, online shopping and gaming, payment, car-hailing,
food deliveries, job search, ticketing, and so on. To support such mobile
users, there are over 11 million mobile phone base stations across the country.
Indeed, mobile phones and internet access are essential for daily lives and
activities in China regardless of nationality. The good news is that foreign
visitors now can use online payment like WeChat Pay or Ali Pay. No more currency
exchange is needed as cash isn’t so welcomed by shops, drivers, and other
service providers in China. With a valid passport and an internet-accessible mobile
phone, you can enjoy visiting China without cash.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about how popular the Internet is
in China.
