China Mobile Subscribers Surpass Total US Population

Yes… China has finally did it. The largest telecommunications company in the world, China Mobile, has managed to get more subscribers than the total population of American itself. They currently have 301 million subscribers. That’s a lot!

However, the average income in China is $1,700, unlike the $44,000 in America. Even though cell phones are cheaper in China, the average Chinese person pays 7 percent more of their income for the phone. This clearly exemplifies the importance of communication in China.
