Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper examines the inequality of Internet use in China. Based on the official survey of Internet use and demographical statistics, the author finds that the Internet is still a privilege of a small group of people. Among many demographical features, income, education and location are three influential factors of the digital divide. The paper gives the insight of the distorted relationship between these three demographical factors and Internet use. While the majority of Chinese suffers from low income and few opportunities of education and job, the majority of Internet users are people of high income and high education. The regional distribution of Internet users corresponds to resource disparity of different geographical areas. The paper further analyzes the social-economic structure and Internet policy that lead to the digital divide. The paper suggests that, to bridge the digital divide, the Chinese government has to work out a way balancing economic development and human development in terms of Internet policy.
