The People's Republic of China has been on the Internet intermittently since May 1989 and on a permanent basis since 20 April 1994.[1] In 2008, China became the country with the largest population on the Internet; as of 2024[update], it has remained so.[2]: 18 As of December 2024,[update] 1.09 billion people (77.5% of the country's total population) use the internet.
China's first foray into the global cyberspace was an email (not TCP/IP based and thus technically not internet) sent on 20 September 1987 to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, reading, "Across the Great Wall, towards the rest of the world" (simplified Chinese: 越过长城，走向世界; traditional Chinese: 越過長城，走向世界; pinyin: Yuèguò chángchéng, zǒuxiàng shìjiè).[3][4] This later became a well-known phrase in China and as of 2018[update], was displayed on the desktop login screen for QQ mail.[5] Internet in China is heavily censored, with numerous foreign websites blocked under the Great Firewall.
