Deborah Fallows is a senior research fellow in PEW Internet& American life project and she have many interesting articles about the usage of internet in China. Her latest entry is about internet cafe in rural China: "I sought out my first rural internet bar last week, in the village of Wolong ...The internet cafe was pretty amazing ..l. It was tucked at the end of a row of shops facing a construction site behind the main road through town. We trudged there by negotiating muddy puddles and clambering over stacks of rebar until we reached an open double door with a drooping homemade sign announcing the internet...The space was a dark, dank, odiferous garage-like room, probably about 12 feet by 20 feet, with about 10 computers set up in two rows facing the outer, moldy walls. Old computers were set on simple tables, and each spot had a plastic chair". Read more @ Pew/Internet To read all of the posts of Deberah Fallows about the Internet in China click here
