THE number of Chinese government microblogs was more than 170,000 by the end of last year, according to a report issued yesterday.
The annual report by the E-Government Research Center under the China Academy of Governance stated that the country had 176,714 government microblog accounts as of December 20, 2012 - an increase of almost 2.5 times from the previous year.
Some 113,382 of these accounts are run by Communist Party of China committees, legislatures, governments, political advisors, Party disciplinary watchdogs as well as judicial and procuratorial agencies and government-sponsored institutions. The remaining 63,332 are kept by officials and staff members of such agencies, the report said.
It added that a great number of these accounts are run by agencies and individuals associated with the public security and police system, with 37 percent of them accounting for authorities' microblogs and 39 percent of them being individual accounts.
The report is based on research of popular microblog sites like weibo.com, t.qq.com, t.home.news.cn and t.people.com.cn - the four major Chinese microblogging service providers.
The identities of operators have been verified by the service providers.
Among all the accounts run by individual officials, about 66 percent were opened by officials at grass-roots levels and only 1 percent are maintained by provincial or ministerial-level leaders.
The report said government microblogs have grown from being just simple outlets for disclosing information to becoming more integrated platforms for the government to communicate with the public and provide services.
