Participation is the key word, and China's 253 million internet users mainly use domestic tools for their conversation.
Almost all conversational tools, China's BBS's, weblogs and IM show a fast growth, without exception. Sam Flemming: "The internet in China is more active, more vibrant than in the West." Compared to US internet users the Chinese find the internet more important for their personal expression.
