Dave,

Just to inject one note of data into this conversation:

China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) recently issued
estimates saying that there are 123 million Internet users in China
(second to the U.S.), and that the number of active bloggers is
estimated at 7.7M.  The total number of blogs set up is estimated at
34M, by 17.5M people.

Of course, everyone on this list knows that there isn't a 1:1
correspondence between Internet users and IP addresses, but it gives a
feel for the demand.
