Internet Is Changing Chinese Society

Rebuild Lifestyle

After being granted a 3G license in 2009, iPhone was released in China’s mainland, and the year 2009 was “the first year of China’s 3G mobile Internet.” Mobile Internet users are a major component of Chinese netizens.

According to the Mobile Internet White Paper released by the China Academy of Telecommunications Research, mobile Internet has become the fastest growing, most competitive and innovative field in the information industry. Aggressive enterprises are making great efforts to chisel out a niche in the mobile Internet.

The great success of Wechat allows Tencent to maintain its leading position in the age of the mobile Internet. At present, Wechat users exceed 400 million. Compared to computer Internet, mobile Internet has penetrated every corner of society and quietly changed people’s lifestyle. Mobile phone users are able to quickly and efficiently check news and weather, reserve restaurants and cabs, take photos and manage finances. As you enjoy the tremendous change brought by mobile Internet, you might realize that you must give more time to your cell phone, although you are free from a network cable.

Many Chinese travelers checking into foreign hotels ask for WIFI passwords. It seems that our attitude toward Internet has changed from ignorance to love to dependence.
