In recent decade, Chinese Internet Scale has changed alot because of widespread use of the Internet. On December, 2017, ChinaInternet Network Information Center (CNNIC) published The 41st ChinaStatistical Report on Internet Development. It contains comprehensive statisticof China Internet development. And I choose the aspect about Chinese Internetusers in 2017 to make visualizations.
In 2017, Internet penetration rate up to 55.80%. AsCNNIC’s report, it exceeds the Asian average (46.7%) by 9.1 percentage pointsand exceeds the global average (51.7%) by 4.1 percentage points. The polylineshows that Chinese Internet penetration rate had continually increased in recentdecade. However, the growth rate grows slower and slower which means Chinese Internetpenetration maybe stop in future three to five years.
And with the widespread use of mobile phone, theproportion of mobile internet users in total Internet users has stronglyincreased. In 2017, the number of Chinese total internet users reached to771.98 million including 752.65 million mobile Internet users. The proportionof mobile internet users in total Internet users up to 97.50% which means thatit’s completely possible for the proportion to reach 100% in the future.
Then there are two charts to show the structure ofChinese Internet users. The first is the sexual structure. Female Internet useraccounts for 47.40% and male Internet user accounts for 52.60%. It seems toreach a balance between female and male. The second chart is about ChineseInternet users’ age. As it shown, user between 20 to 29 years old accounts for30.00% which is the largest proportion. User between 30 to 39 accounts thesecond. In totally, Chinese Internet users mainly are 20 to 39 years old whoare full of vitality. With the development of Internet, the number of elderusers may be increased.
The last chart simply shows the activities thatChinese Internet users participate online. Music and video are simple enoughfor everyone to receive. The prosperity of Chinese consumption online leadsusers to shopping and pay online. The others all shows the new functions thatInternet bring to Chinese Internet users.
This visual work is based on Chinese Internetdevelopment in Big Data Era. I want to tell the readers that what ChineseInternet users do, who they are and foresee future scale of Chinese Internetusers.
It’s easy for me to download the report from CNNIC’swebsite. But it costed me long time to organize data. Because the file formatof download version is PDF which cannot be completely copied. So I need tosearch as well as type manually. I didn’t want to spend lots of time toorganize data so I choose the information about Chinese Internet users.
Then I simply made some charts by dydata website andwindows excel. In order to unite them into a same style, I used Adobe Photoshopto make chart one by one. I only need to decide to color and composing but it’sthe most difficult. Also I tried to make some unique features to charts whichmade them more beautiful. The other difficulty is that I am not sure how toshow the data of some kinds of chart.
