A Connected China

The Chinese government may receive a lot of criticism from the international policy about censorship laws and the limiting spread of information in the country, but there is no denying that the nation is rapidly developed into a very technologically advanced society. More specifically, online usage is soaring in China as an increasingly large number of the Chinese have access to high quality broadband internet speeds. Although online casinos and gambling through the internet is still illegal in China, the fact that more than 320 million Chinese have access to the quality internet that would support the internet gambling industry is heartening for the international gambling companies that eagerly eye the currently closed Asian markets.

Internet accessibility has now become one of the measuring sticks that the world uses to determine the advancement of the society. The poorer and developing nations still have slower connections speeds and less personal home computer usage. China’s online use is increasing at a huge rate though and recently released information indicates that Chinese internet use increase 13.4 percent in the first half of 2009 over the growth experienced in the same period during 2009. The technology is ramping up in the country and expanding at a clipped pace. Not only is internet access increasing, but the Chinese are able to go online at high connection speeds with the vast majority of the internet-connected Chinese (320 million out of 338 million) connected at broadband speeds.

All of this rampant internet is surely a benefit to the online casinos that are patiently entering the Asian market by offering non-gambling skill and fun games. The Chinese market is simply primed and ready for a huge surge in internet technologies being consumed by the masses. 49.5 percent of those Chinese with broadband use also use their mobile phones to go online.
