Hmmm, where do you get this interesting statistic from? I'd wager it's
wrong. According to Internet World Stats, the number of English users is
312 million compared to 132 million Chinese.

Global Reach seems to validate these numbers

As does the Sydney Morning Herald
Language diversity to continue net's rise as No. 1 communication medium
"This is fair enough. Chinese language speakers represent the second
largest group of internet users - 13 per cent. The proportion of English
speakers is below one-third - just 30.6 per cent of internet users speak
English as their first language."

Of course, alt.video.dvd is an English newsgroup.
