China To Bypass U.S. As Leading Internet Market?

Techcrunch has posted a story about how China is close to becoming the world’s largest Internet market. According to the story, China is now only 5 million users shy of breaking past the United States as the leading country online.

Here’s the catch, though, that Techcrunch doesn’t really talk about. This information is put out by the Chinese government. Does it strike anybody else that they just might be exercising a little of Al Gore’s "fuzzy math"? China pulls no punches in it’s mission to surpass the United States. They would like to use the power of economy to take us down. Is it beyond reason that they might exaggerate a bit to make themselves look good? After all, this is a VERY censored country, where the government controls all information.

I’m just saying.

I think Paul Kedrosky has a point.
