China's State Council published a guideline Thursday to improve the management of the government websites.
To establish a clean, innovative and service-oriented government ruled by law, websites should be open, clear, informative and convenient for the public, said the document issued by the general office of the State Council.
According to the guideline, ministries of the State Council and government offices above county level should each have one official website.
The guideline also stressed Internet security, urging government offices to set up stable, reliable and safe websites by having online security warning systems and emergency response systems.
