Yes, but how many websites do they access to? By comparison, they may also earn another "World ___-est" title" :
World's smallest amount of accessible website.
Or something along those lines. I'm tired.

I get a fair amount of traffic from China but they do very little ad clicking.

@JJT - Are your ads in Chinese?

Thanks for the insights, Sean. Guess we're spoiled over here.
The Olympic Influx should be good for enough seeds of discontent that force their government to relax controls over time as popular demand snowballs.
My guess is they're going to try keeping everybody in the dark and un-networked for as long as they possibly can without starting a physical revolution.

Are there any reliable public measures of Chinese website traffic? And how do the most well-known U.S. webmaster tools skew for Chinese traffic? (Alexa, Compete, Quantcast, etc.)
Any consensus?

Matt,
When you say:
"enough seeds of discontent that force their government to relax controls over time as popular demand snowballs."
This is what we always hope for "popular demand".
Unfortunately, I just returned from China and what I found is that since they never had it, they don't miss it. And if it's gone they don't even know about it.
For example, when I couldn't access wikipedia from Shanghai, I mentioned it to a friend (an ex-pat whose been in China for several years now). She had never even heard of wikipedia. And so, they aren't making too many "snowballs" in China.

It is very interesting to also learn that a foreign based Internet investment firm, Koolanoo Group is making waves in this sector. Koolanoo Group is a China Internet & New Media company. Proprietor of leading Internet properties and brands. The company owns, 360Quan.com, China's Leading Social Network, and overall 8th Largest Web 2.0 site in China. The company targets teenagers and is currently the No. 1 online destination. The company has been recently valued at over $350 Million USD, and according to CNBC, Bloomberg TV is listing on the HKSE summer 2008. I guess the term 'Made In China' as alternate meaning now :)

May be, who knows... But the problem of China is that it still blocks lots of sites like YouTube, MySpace, wiki... I access Google and those sites I mentioned before by using VPN tunnel. Really good service provided by http://stronvpn.com Company. Hope it would help Chinese people to use best internet services. As a plus it has Chinese language.
