Semi Annual Survey Report On Internet Development In China - 2000.1

    Statistics on Internet development in China, including the total number of hosts and users, user geographic distribution, traffic pattern, and domain name registration etc, are very significant and valuable in helping government agencies and commercial enterprises in making their policy and business decisions. In 1997, the State Council's Informatization Office and the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) Working Committee determined that the CNNIC, in cooperation with the four major networks units in China, would carry out surveys on Internet development in China.

    CNNIC published its four previous reports ("Survey Report on Internet Development In China") in November 1997, July 1998, January 1999 and July 1999. These survey reports were well accepted by the general public both in China and in other countries. They were widely cited as the leading authority on China's Internet statistics. Users, government organizations, enterprises and news media request the CNNIC to regularly do it and publish the results. To satisfy the needs of the public, CNNIC decides to do the survey as a semiannual activity. The surveys will be conducted and published in January and July of each year.

    The current survey covered many aspects of China's Internet, including total user number, total host number, number and distribution of domain names, international bandwidth for each of the  networks, and total number of WWW sites. The user information are statistically derived from the data collected through online survey. Internet and Web usage statistics, as well as users' opinions on current hot issues, have also been obtained through the online.

    Like the previous reports from the CNNIC, the survey has closely followed the methodologies adopted in other countries. Data is collected through submitting online questionnaires on popular Web sites and conducting software-driven online seeking. CNNIC conducted its online survey in   December 15-31, 1999. Survey questionnaires were placed on the home pages of famous Web sites in China. The survey is strongly supported by almost all the well-known Chinese ISPs and ICPs. The online survey received 363,538 responses. Among these responses, 202,432 were valid and used to calculate the final results. The number of valid respondents has increased tremendously, compared to the previous four surveys. The increase has greatly enhanced the accuracy of survey results.
