regarding the 420M number, i believe that the number is actually higher than that because there's a large population of internet cafe users that are hard to count. what's even more amazing, imho, is the number of mobile users: 600M+. all foreign internet companies have failed in china (meaning they did not take a majority of the market): ebay, paypal, google, twitter, facebook, yahoo, youtube, etc. it is definitely protectionism. the copy cat companies make a fortune in china, no comment on who that benefits mostly.
