By the end of 2015, China had 1.3 billion mobile subscriptions, making it the world’s most populous country with the highest saturation of mobile subscribers. Nearly everyone in China owns a mobile device, with 30 per cent being 4G users (according to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).
