One time after the millenium year of 2000, Chinese language websites first outnumbered English language sites.
In its 29th Statistics Report on the State of China's Internet Development, China's Internet Information Center (CNNIC) had published that by the end of December 2011, the number of Chinese households using the web would have increased to 250 Million. The web then became the most important medium of communication for its users when fetching news. And in January 2012, Chinese media reported that China's internet population had risen to 500 Million "netizens".
In his book "The Digital Silk Road", first published in 2021, Jonathan Hillman, a top-ranking specialist on international strategic studies, wrote that China is rewiring the world, through vast infrastructure projects which already extend from the ocean floor to outer space, from Africa's megacities to rural America. In doing so, the global order is being rewritten.
