Culture and the Ministry of Information Industry, issued a notice on Tuesday (March 6) saying that local governments must not sanction the opening of new Internet cafes. \u003cbr/\u003eChina's online population is now 137 (m)million - putting the country on track to surpass the USA in 2008 as the nation with the most Internet users, according to Chinese government figures.\u003cbr/\u003eBut how to regulate internet use is of concern to the Chinese government.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's believed there are about 113,000 Internet cafes in China. \u003cbr/\u003eMany are smoke-filled rooms with rows of

user Mr Wang, though, are dissatisfied - claiming many people don't have computers at home and that they use the internet cafes in order to get information and carry out research online.\u003cbr/\u003eThe internet is not only popular with the nation's city-dwellers, it has penetrated the country's rural areas too, where at least 70% of the Chinese population live. \u003cbr/\u003eA number of local governments in the countryside have set up internet learning centres, or E-learning centres, aiming to acquainted farmers with basic knowledge about computing and going online.\u003cbr/\u003eFor the first time a number of farmers are now in touch with the outside world, bringing the market economy to these hinterlands.\u003cbr/\u003eFarmers can also find out about new agricultural products and updated market information.\u003cbr/\u003eThe government's decision to ban the opening of more internet cafes came after China's online population reached 137 (m)million, an increase of 23.4 percent year-on-year. \u003cbr/\u003eThe number is 10 percent of China's 1.3 (b)billion population, according to the China Internet Network Information Centre (CNNIC),

director of CNNIC, says people need guidance in how to get the best out of the Internet.\u003cbr/\u003eOverall, the government promotes internet use for education and business, but tries to block the
