China’s internet population, the world’s largest, reached 632 million by the end of June, at a time when the online industry in the world’s second largest economy showed signs of slowing down for the first time, a report said on Monday.
Figures from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) showed that there were 14.42 million new Internet users in the first six months of the year. Compared to the 53.58 million new Internet users added last year, the increase in the first half of this year was relatively small.
