Country
China
Address space that resolves to China, and who operates it.
Where the space resolves, which is an estimate for the block, not a fix on any device. A network can hold space in many countries at once, so the same space is counted on more than one country page.
What this tells you
- 5,486 networks hold address space located in China, run by 234 operators we can group by name.
- An estimated 825,788,845 people browse from China, over a 60 day window. Counted where the users are, whatever registry their network belongs to.
- The largest operator we can identify by name here is Hangzhou Alibaba Advertising Co.,Ltd., holding 3% of the IPv4 space.
- VPN exit infrastructure here belongs to Apple Private Relay, Private Internet Access and CyberGhost. An address in China is not necessarily a person in China.
Operators holding the most space here
Of the address space resolving to China, networks we can group under a named operator account for 8% of its IPv4 and 7% of its IPv6. The table below divides that space. The rest belongs either to networks whose operator we cannot identify by name, or to space no network announces.
Networks holding the most space here
Networks announce 84% of this country's IPv4 space and 38% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space.
Organisations holding space here
Registered organisations account for 16% of this country's IPv4 space and 46% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space. Registered holders come from the bulk whois that RIPE, APNIC and AFRINIC publish. ARIN and LACNIC do not publish theirs, so space held in North and South America is largely unattributed here.
| Organisation | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd | 65% | 13% | |
| North Star Information Hi.tech Ltd. Co. | 17% | - | |
| Tencent Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd | 8% | <0.1% | |
| Alibaba Cloud (Singapore) Private Limited | 5% | - | |
| CNIC-CAS | 2% | <0.1% | |
| Beijing CNISP Technology Co., Ltd. | 2% | <0.1% | |
| China Education and Research Network (CERNET) | 0.5% | 26% | |
| SAIC VOLKSWAGEN AUTOMOTIVE CO.LTD. | 0.1% | - | |
| China Telecom | <0.1% | 52% | |
| CERNET New Technology Co., Ltd | <0.1% | 7% | |
| Amazon Connection Technology Services (Beijing) Co., LTD | <0.1% | 0.8% | |
| Shenzhen Tencent Computer Systems Company Limited | <0.1% | 0.8% | |
| Everything else (385 more) | 0.7% | 0.5% |
Anonymizer signals
Flagged space covers 7% of this country's IPv4 space and 5% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space.
| Category | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open proxy | 97% | 100% | |
| Datacenter | 79% | 99% | |
| VPN | 1% | <0.1% |
One address can carry more than one of these, so the rows add up to more than the space they cover.
VPN providers with exits here
Space published by a named VPN provider covers <0.1% of this country's IPv4 space and <0.1% of its IPv6 space. The table below divides that space. That counts only what providers publish as their own exits. Space merely associated with VPN use is wider, and is counted under Anonymizer signals above.
| Provider | IPv4 share | IPv6 share | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Private Relay | 97% | 100% | |
| Private Internet Access | 2% | - | |
| CyberGhost | 0.9% | - |
Every figure on this page is also JSON: /api/v2/directory/country/cn. Breakdowns paginate from there, so a table showing the largest rows here returns all of them. Read the API.
