> The new report was based on a survey of 52,500 people, Xinhua said

You do realize how seriously flawed that survey must have been, dont you? Everyone they randomly polled had a telephone, which automatically leaves out 95% of the population. So they then multiplied the percentage of people who answered the phone and said they use the internet, by the entire population of the country!!

Of _course_ people who have a telephone are more likely to use the internet than someone living in a village who doesn't have a phone!

I don't think I've ever seen a more misleading use of polling in my life.
