:: Netease, one of China’s leading Internet portal Web sites, has just released some interesting “top 10″ data in its 2008 China Internet Communication Report; essentially a catalog of mainstream Chinese pop culture. Netease sums up how the report’s results were determined with “…there are about 200 million netizens in China who are active in the application of various NetEase Internet products…every click or search they have done, and any words they have posted on the Internet, have contributed to this report.” (Wow!)
