Latest statistics on social media in China market

Facebook : latest statistics on social media in China, Facebook behind Google+ in China market. An independent research group GlobalWebIndex have recently published a report on the social media usage in China. They have conducted an online survey in Mandarin language used by Mainland China, and asked the following question: “On which of the following services have you used or contributed last month?”

The research has shown that 63.52 million people use Facebook in China, or about 15% of the total population use Facebook from China. This is a considerable growth compared to the same research 3 year ago, back in 2009 which concluded that only 8% of China is on Facebook (or 7.9 million people respectively). The research has also shown that 65% of Chinese Facebook users are male, 76% are below the age of 34 and 69% have a post graduate degree.

 This research has also shown that Google+ is much more popular in China than Facebook, with 25% of Chinese on Google+ (or over 106 million people) compared to 15% on Facebook. That is a big win for Google in the social media space in China.The question is, of course, how do Chinese access the social media like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter from Mainland China? The “Great Firewall” obviously blocks all the “unauthorized” social media websites, making them inaccessible.

Chinese Internet users have learned long ago what is a virtual private network (VPN). All of them are using VPN services, like Le VPN, that change their real IP location to the location of a different country, and allow them to access online content authorized in Europe or in the US, including to access Facebook from China.

    Great insights! Thanks for sharing! Didn’t know these statistics before.
    I am based in Shanghai and indeed, a VPN connection is a must to use Facebook in China.
