SHANGHAI (AFP) — Commerce on the Internet in China is expanding rapidly, with spending rising 60 percent in the first half of the year, an industry body said Wednesday.

• China's cell phone users top 670 mln after 3G services start - China registered 670 million cell phone users by the end of March, with the boost of the third-generation (3G) networks, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said Monday.  Before 3G services were started, China had 600 million cell phone users at the end of last July, according to MIIT data. Users grew monthly by 7.42 million. After 3G started on Jan. 7, 10 million people became registered cell phone users in February and March, said Xi Guohua, minister of MIIT.  3G allows mobile phone users to download data faster, make video calls and watch TV shows.  With another 335 million fixed-line users in calculation, China's telephone users exceeded one billion, Xi added.  Despite those numbers, the telecom industry saw net profits sink 18.7 percent to 37.65 billion yuan (5.54 billion U.S. dollars) in the first three months of this year. Business revenue rose 1.86 percent year on year to 202.42 billion yuan and telecom fees fell 6.76 percent in March from a year ago, Xi said. BEIJING, May 18, 2009 (Xinhua)

• China's population of Web users hits 298 million: China's fast-growing population of Internet users has risen to 298 million after passing the United States last year to become the world's largest, a government-sanctioned research group said Tuesday. The latest figure is a 41.9 percent increase over the same period last year, the China Internet Network Information Center said in a report. China's Internet penetration is still low at just 22.6 percent, leaving more room for rapid growth, according to CNNIC. The Pew Internet and American Life Project places U.S. online penetration at 71 percent. China's Internet use is growing at explosive rates despite government efforts to block access to material deemed subversive or pornographic. Regulators are in the middle of a crackdown on sites accused of carrying sexually explicit material. The financial size of China's online market still trails that of the United States, South Korea and other countries. The United States had an estimated 223.1 million Internet users in June, according to Nielsen Online, a research firm. China is preparing to launch third-generation mobile phone service — which supports wireless Web surfing — that is expected to set off a new surge in Internet use. (Jan. 13, 2009)
