China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest Internet market by number of users, a research firm said on Thursday. The estimate by Beijing-based BDA was based on data from China Internet Network Information Center, which indicated that the country's Internet users totaled 210 million at the end of 2007. Nielsen/NetRatings put the United States Web population at 216 million for the same period, BDA said.
