Web, Smartphones, and Social Media are Thriving in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau [INFOGRAPHIC]

The Infographic of the Day series visually expresses important stories from Asia and the world of technology.

Across Asia, countries seem to be split into those who’re well hooked-up to the high-speed web, and those who access instead from mobiles and PC cafés – with only mainland China somewhat torn between those two states of being.

But in the Greater China area, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau are certainly in the first group – enjoying high rates of internet penetration on an uncensored web whilst also having over 100 percent phone ownership, many of which are smartphones.

That’s the picture painted by We Are Social’s new report on the three areas, which is part of its marathon survey of 24 countries across the region.

Some other highlights from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau include the facts that 35 percent of HK folks own smartphones, and 56 percent of them use their devices to search the web every single day; Taiwan has the world’s most active blog readers and BBS users; and in tiny Macau, more women than men are using Facebook, which bucks the general trend across Asia. Here are the three full slideshows:
