Report says government websites lack sway

The influence of Chinese government websites is still weak partly due to lack of public interaction and technical problems, according to a recent report.

While new media such as Weibo and Weixin go from strength to strength, official government websites have few visitors and little influence, according to the China Information Industry Association and the State Information Center.

The research was based on about 100 central and provincial government websites and more than 400 at the city level.

Launched in 1999, the Government Online Project has managed to connect all ministerial departments and provincial governments, 99 percent of city and 85 percent of county governments, allowing the public to acquire information and procure government services via the Internet.

However, some local governments do not publicize information in a timely manner and even keep silent on some issues.
