 12) 43% of global cyberattacks come from China in 2014

 The PWC research firm estimates that the number of daily cyber attacks at 177.300 worldwide and this number is constantly increasing.

 The fact is derisory compared to the importance of Chinese social networks here, much more suited to the Chinese people. But the main reasons why the Chinese are not using Facebook at first because you have to use a VPN, to bypass the censorship but it slowed dramatically the connection, and then the fact that there is only a very few Chinese people listed on it. Then the social network becomes meaningless.
