The Chinese web population has grown to 253 million, having expanded by 91 million in the past 12 months.

The figures - which confirm China as the world’s biggest online market by number of users - were released by the China Internet Network Information Center. Around 214 million users have broadband access.

The report also shows that China’s hitherto small-scale e-commerce sector is growing rapidly. Around 23.8 million netizens use online payment services, up 72% from last year.

It also demonstrates the potential of mobile as an online channel in China, with more than 73 million mobile web users.
