internet - SCMP's five million bloggers

The South China Morning Post is trying to defend its title as the most ignorant medium concerning the internet. On Tuesday it wrote that China is having five million bloggers. While developments are going very fast, but the number is hoovering between one and two million. The official counter at Cnblog seems with 770,000 weblogs also out of touch, but in a different way. In March it also had counted 700,000 weblogs.
Any more realistic estimates around?
