This paper investigates the difference between cyber citizens and internet subscribers, the calibration of cyber citizens in the international perspective, and the definition of cyber citizens in China. In the following we argue that each country shall adopt proper statistical indicators of Internet development gearing to its domestic condition. Furthermore, some proposals on investigating approaches, such as specifying the frequency of using the Internet, the age of starting and making recourse to survey institutes, are put forward to enhance the international comparability of the statistical data on cyber citizens.
