It's a rate of 0.007% for China by virtue of their 1.5b population.

I think I'm not being clear. Using the China example, the number of censors required is 0.5% of the number of online users regardless of whether the censors are members of the "online users" group or not.

Maybe, it could be that it doesn't scale linearly though. All I know is where the numbers are at now (or actually, a year or two ago).
