According to the latest statistics from Xinhua News Agency, there are 600 million Internet users in China, or four out of every 10 Chinese clicking away everyday on e-mails, social media or the Net.
It is certainly not the prerogative of the young and Internetsavvy.
Lots of retirees spend hours on the web surfing and re-posting information they have never seen or had access to before. China's workforce is stood down at 55 for females, and 60 for males, and that means a large portion of the country's aging population is still hale and hearty, footloose, fancy free, with lots of time to browse the worldwide web.
