China Internet Network Information Center has issued its 19th report about the development status of China's Internet industry, showing that growth is quickening in the Middle Kingdom.

The report shows that as of December 31, 2006, there were 137 million Internet users on the Chinese mainland, accounting for 10.5% of China's total population, which was an increase of 23.4% over that of the same period of last year. According to the report, 104 million internet users in China were using broadband and 17 million were using mobile phones to access to the Internet.
