Business Week reports:
China today has about 3 million bloggers, according to market researcher Analysys International. And there's no shortage of potential recruits: More than 100 million Chinese now use the Internet, up 18% in just the past six months, while the 360 million Chinese with cell phones may soon join in as mobile blogging takes off. "Blogs will go through an explosive growth period," predicts 37-year-old Fang Xingdong, whose writings about technology and the Internet have made him one of China's top bloggers.
There are certain taboo subjects:
Chinese bloggers can't promote the banned Falun Gong religious movement, advocate Taiwanese independence, or call for China's withdrawal from Tibet -- and the government is remarkably good at keeping such thoughts out of China's blogosphere.
