China is not only the country with the largest population in the world, but also the one with the largest number of internet users. According to Internet Live Stats, in 2014, 642 million users in the People's Republic were online, representing 22% of all global internet users—more than the combined total in the USA, India, and Japan. Data from eMarketer shows that spending on mobile online advertising in China rose from $0.9 billion in 2013 to $13.9 billion in 2015. This rapid growth helped China surpass the UK and Japan to become the world’s second-largest mobile advertising market, after the United States.
