China internet users are sick
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=282594

According to a new survey on internet use, China’s users are in a sub-healthy state.

Sub-healthy state is regarded as a transitional stage between health and illness.

The survey says about seventy three per cent of Internet users in China are sub-healthy while seventy per cent suffer from psychological problems.

Most survey respondents said they suffer from dizziness and insomnia and half of them also face stomach-ache from time to time.

More than seventy per cent said they had suffered from amnesia, anxiety and absent-mindedness.

Sounds like China is getting a bit worried about its 162 million internet users

3. According to a "new survey".
That article is worthless. Who conducted this survey? How was it conducted? How many respondents were there? How many hours a week did they spend on the net? What variables did they control for? Were occasional users also sick? What's the margin of error for this "survey"?

This is very possibly Chinese government propaganda. Their government wants to control the information the populace gets. The internet threatens that control, so they are trying to discourage it's use.
