Firewall Sale: China's lag in all things cyber is well-documented, with a mere 4 million citizens online. Yet their ranks are swelling and, in Beijing at least, public Web access is becoming increasingly widespread. Sparkice, an online pioneer, has nine Internet cafés around the city (check locations at 216.156.206.152/cafeindex.htm). A favorite launchpad for cybernauts is in the China World Hotel complex.
