HERE’S a humbling statistic: The finale of the Chinese version of “American Idol” was seen by 400 million people, according to reports.

The show, called “Super Girl 2005,” was won by 21-year-old Li Yuchun. Crowds gathered in the streets of Beijing and other cities to watch the three-hour finale, according to the Times of London.

It was said to be the biggest audience ever for a TV show in China.
