Posted by Xiao Qiang | Dec 31, 2005

The website of China’s central government, www.gov.cn, opened formally at zero hour Sunday following a three-month trial operation.

There was no grand ribbon-cutting ceremony for the launch of the website. But according to Wu Jiang, president of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science, this could be seen as a starting point for the establishment of an electronic government and a demonstration of the Chinese government’s resolve to make itself more transparent and service-oriented.
