About 69.8 percent of Chinese Internet users rely on instant communication tools like QQ or MSN, surpassing the 39 percent that use these applications in the U.S., and 47.7 percent in South Korea. The survey also shows 76.3 percent of Chinese netizens derive information from the Internet and usually get their first taste of major news directly through the Internet.</p> <P>Online entertainment functions are also well received by Chinese citizens. Online music, audio and visual programs, and online games are very popular among netizens. About 68.5 percent of netizens have downloaded or listened to music through the Internet. Around 61.1 percent have watched or downloaded online programs. Nearly half of them have played online games. Meanwhile, 51.1 percent believe their lives would be very dull if not for the Internet.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1FE348E7-6529-43CB-91F5-ABA28C9C9657/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
