The Information Office of the State Council opens a website on
Jan 1, 2007.
The website, www.scio.gov.cn, will release information on
important government issues, white papers, activities arranged by
the office and exchanges with foreign governments, media and
cultural institutes.
The website currently only has a Chinese language version. The
content includes an introduction of the office, news releases, work
news, cultural exchanges, international cooperation, communication
theories, news from China and a brief introduction of China.
It also provides information about spokesmen, government white
papers, as well as network services including e-mail.
Cai Wu, director of the office, said he hoped the website would
serve as "a bridge of communication between the government and the
public, and a window for the world to understand China."
