Largest Internet Population Worldwide

2008 was a big year for China's online industry. The country surpassed the U.S. as the largest internet population in the world with over 298 million users, and an internet penetration rate of 22.6% surpassing the 21.9% world average.

In an effort to accommodate the increasing demand for video, e-commerce and online gaming, China added 8.7 million high-speed connections last year alone bringing the total number of broadband connects to over 75 million. These figures will continue rise, especially when you consider that only 1 in every 2 Chinese has internet access today.

One reason for this explosive increase in China's broadband users is that prices for high-speed services have been coming down steadily. Chinese broadband customers now pay roughly 40% less today than they paid five years ago. At the same time, personal computer prices have been dropping steadily, which has also contributed to the strong demand for Internet services.

All this spells opportunity for solid internet companies and savvy investors that know where to put their money. The key is identifying the stocks with the most profit potential amongst all the other stocks in the marketplace.

My top 3 China internet buys are enjoying health profitability, maintaining their leadership position and offering investors the best way to take advantage of the most dynamic internet market in the world.
