That's an interesting study [cnnic.net.cn] (is that the one you were referring to?). There are a whole lot more statistics all listed in English for anyone who is interested.

Bill,

Your reference is the old version (11th edition). My data are the latest ones published in July. I have not seen the complete English version. Maybe later sometime.
