Table with 10 columns out of the page

Question

I'm trying to do a table with 10 columns but it goes out of the page. I would like to know if it is possible to resolve that problem.

Here's an MWE:

\begin{table*}
\small
\centering
\caption{Some Typical Commands}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|l|} \hline
\multirow{4}{*}{Années} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\makecell[cc]{Utilisateurs Internet\\(en millions)}} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\makecell[cc]{Utilisateurs Internet mobile\\(en millions)}} & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\makecell[cc]{Utilisateurs en zones\\rurales (en \%)}}\\ \cline{2-10}
 & \makecell[cc]{Chine\\continentale} & Hongkong & Macao & \makecell[cc]{Chine\\continentale} & Hongkong & Macao & \makecell[cc]{Chine\\continentale} & Hongkong & Macao\\ \hline
2007 & 210 & 4.5 & 0.2 & 50 & 10.8 & 0.8 & N/D & 0 & 0 \ \hline
2008 & 298 & 4.7 & 0.3 & 118 & 11.6 & 0.9 & 28.4 & 0 & 0 \ \hline
2009 & 384 & 4.8 & 0.3 & 233 & 12.6 & 1 & 27.8 & 0 & 0 \ \hline
2010 & 457 & 5.1 & 0.3 & 303 & 13.8 & 1.1 & 27.3 & 0 & 0 \ \hline
2011 & 513 & 5.1 & 0.3 & 356 & 15.3 & 1.4 & 26.5 & 0 & 0 \ \hline
2012 & 564 & 5.2 & 0.4 & 420 & 16.4 & 1.6 & 27.6 & 0 & 0 \ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table*}

Thank you in advance!

I would be better if you transpose the table, switching rows with columns and viceversa. Otherwise, you can use the landscape enviroment, of the pdflscape package to put the table in a landscape page. — Mane32, Apr 20 '23 at 18:20
The good news is that most of the space is taken up by titles. Abreviate? Rotate text 90 defgrees? — John Kormylo, Apr 20 '23 at 18:48
just use headings such as Chine HK Macao You could add text under the table clarifying Chine = Chine continentale — David Carlisle, Apr 20 '23 at 20:30
Thank you all! I tested all your suggestions and the better idea was to reduce the titles ("Chine continentale" into "Chine", aso.). Thank you everyone! — Guillaume, Apr 21 '23 at 10:13

One option with simple code is to use talltblr of tabularray package and at table footnote explain that with "China" is considered Continental China:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
%---------------- show page layout. don't use in a real document!
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewcommand\ShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
\renewcommand*\ShowFrameColor{\color{red}}
%---------------------------------------------------------------%
\usepackage{tabularray}
\begin{document}
    \begin{table}
    \centering
\begin{talltblr}[
caption = {Some Typical Commands},
  label = {tab:?},
note{a} = {Continental China}
                ]{hlines, vlines,
                  colspec = { l {9}{c}}
                  }
\SetCell[r=2]{c}    Années
    &   \SetCell[c=3]{c}    {Utilisateurs Internet\(en millions)}
        &   &   &   \SetCell[c=3]{c}    {Utilisateurs Internet mobile\(en millions)} 
                    &   &   &   \SetCell[c=3]{c}    {Utilisateurs en zones\rurales (en %)}
                                &   &           \ 
        & China\TblrNote{a} & Hongkong  & Macao
        & China\TblrNote{a} & Hongkong  & Macao
        & China\TblrNote{a} & Hongkong  & Macao \
2007    & 210   &  4.5  & 0.2 
        & 50    & 10.8  & 0.8 
        & N/D   &  0    & 0                     \
2008    & 298   & 4.7   & 0.3 
        & 118   & 11.6  & 0.9 
        & 28.4  &  0    & 0                     \ 
2009    & 384   &  4.8  & 0.3 
        & 233   & 12.6  & 1 
        & 27.8  &  0    & 0                     \ 
2010    & 457   &  5.1  & 0.3 
        & 303   & 13.8  & 1.1 
        & 27.3  & 0     & 0                     \ 
2011    & 513   & 5.1   & 0.3 
        & 356   & 15.3  & 1.4 
        & 26.5  &  0    & 0                     \ 
2012    & 564   &  5.2  & 0.4 
        & 420   & 16.4  & 1.6 
        & 27.6  &  0    & 0                     \ 
\end{talltblr}
    \end{table*}
\end{document}

Edit:
Regarding to you comment, you can abbreviate "Hongkong" to HK too. With this the width of table further shrink and make a space to make all last nine columns equal width by use of X[c] column type insead c:

Thank you! Your idea is the same as David Carlisle's and 'John Kormylo's. I abbreviated « Chine continentale » into « Chine » and « Hongkong » into « HK ». As your table is better than mine, I'll keep it! — Guillaume, Apr 21 '23 at 10:11
@Guillaume, you still can abbreviate "HongKong" to HK. Well, extend their ideaa a bit by adding table notes ... — Zarko, Apr 21 '23 at 10:24
I've tried but I don't know how to add a new note. How can I do it? I've tried that but it didn't work:
note{a} = {Chine continentale} note{b} = {Hongkong} ... — Guillaume, Apr 21 '23 at 10:33
