Facebook, Twitter Poke Holes in China's Great Firewall

Despite government-imposed bans, Facebook and Twitter have tens of millions of users in China. Facebook use in China has reportedly swelled to 63.5 million people, a roughly eightfold increase over the 7.9 million who used the site two years ago. Twitter, meanwhile, has nearly 36 million users in China. Facebook and Twitter use among China's 500 million Internet users would likely be even higher but for homegrown alternatives such as Sina Weibo, the country's Twitter counterpart.
