Hereโ€™s what happens every minute online in China (Infographic)

There are nearly 700 million internet users in China, and they donโ€™t let their connections go to waste. The country is a downloading, WeChatting, ecommercing powerhouse, and it has the statistics to prove it.

We sorted through the numbers put out by some of Chinaโ€™s biggest internet companies, and brought them down to scale. This is an internet minute in China. The country does in 60 seconds what some would only do over a day, week, or more. Not too shabby.

Note: Some of these statistics were divided down from large figures such as quarterly reports, and should only be seen as an estimate.
