According to a report released by China Internet Network Information (CNNIC) yesterday, China's Internet users totaled 162 million in the first six months of this year. The country reported 137 million users last year.

The rapid growth could be translated into almost 100 new users per minute in the past six months.

At this rate of increase, China is expected to overtake the United States, the world's leader, by the end of next year. The US had 211 million Internet users at the end of last month.

中国互联网络信息中心昨天发布的一份报告显示，今年上半年，中国的网民总数达到1.62亿人。去年这一数字为1.37亿。

在过去六个月中，中国网民的数量以每分钟近一百人的速度激增。

按照这一增速，中国有望于明年年底超过美国，成为全世界网民规模最大的国家。截至上月底，美国的网民数量达到2.11亿人。
