China's population of Internet
users has surpassed 100 million, the government said Tuesday.
China already has the world's second-largest population of people online
after the United States, which has 135 million.
The latest Chinese figure was announced by Xi Guohua, an official with the
Ministry of Information Industry, according to Xinhua News Agency.
Chinese government promotes Internet use for education and business but also
tries to block its public from seeing material deemed pornographic.
Authorities also are trying to tighten controls on what children can see
online.
