This week the China Internet Network Information Center published stats that show for the first time, more than 253 million Chinese were on-line in June. The estimated number of Americans on-line in the same period was 223 million, according to a report by Nielsen Online. Internet penetration in the US is at 71 percent, whereas in China only 19 percent of the country are on-line. In China he growth is is up a staggering 56 percent in one year and is expected to reach 490 million by 2012. 95% of Chinese that are on-line have broadband access.
This is a significant milestone. The Internet can be a vital tool to reach the 10/40 window with the Gospel and help disciple believers in the most unreached countries in the world. China alone has 1.3 billion people!
