yes, there is no way Beijing's subway could be ranked above Hong Kong's, let alone within the top 10 in the world. The survey is a little suspect, as the coverage of destinations is still very limited. If they can stick to their plans, it will become fairly robust in the coming years, but even then maybe still not a global top 10.
As a tourist, the subway is only really useful for getting to/from Tiananmen Square (& Forbidden city), Lama Temple and Wangfujing.

There is an excellent wikipedia article telling all you want to know (and more) about the subway system.
