What country has the highest number of internet users?
China, the country with most users (642 million in 2014), represents nearly 22% of total, and has more users than the next three countries combined (United States, India, and Japan). Among the top 20 countries, India is the one with the lowest penetration: 19% and the highest yearly growth rate. At the opposite end of the range, United States, Germany, France, U.K., and Canada have the highest penetration: over 80% of population in these countries has an internet connection.

Please note that England and the UK are not the same. Pedantic perhaps but important to those of us from a Celtic background. Oh boy I do sound as if I'm fingerwagging. Sorry for that but it's like referring to America and assuming that you are including Canada.

China doesn't restrict their USE, just what websites they can access.

Anthony Griffin, Chinese can use the Internet with no difficulty. But many websites are blocked.

It surprises me that the answer would be China, because of the country's restrictions, on allowing it's citizens to use the internet at free will.

Hache, I was on holiday in Menorca when a young lad from Wales ordered his drink in fluent Spanish. The barman asked if he was from England. The lad said no I'm from wales.The barman then replied it's the same thing 😂 So I think it happens all over the world not just America. I'm English lol so it doesn't affect me.

I totally agree with Jane's comment.. I was in Tampa, Florida a few years back, and in my experience people were pleasant, happy and polite as a rule, but when asked, EVERY AMERICAN that I informed that I was from Wales, then made some comment about England - as if the word 'Wales' was never mentioned! lol
One surfer looking dude (long sun bleached hair, baseball cap on backwards) that I'd met at my local gas station, was the most memorable.. after asking and being answered as to where i was from, he then turned to his mate and said "hey, check her out.. she's from London!!" lol
If you were from the uk, it appeared it was thought you were from London?!
Weird!

Pig Benis, that was my thought precisely. So I don't classify that as using the web.

Jane O'Brien, Jane, not at all. I am Australian, but always try to make sure I am specific about where a person comes from in the UK.

They may have the largest number of users, but I believe their content would be state controlled

Of course! When it come to anything dealing with sheer numbers of people, China is the highest.

China may have the most users, but they also have the least available content due to censorship.
