BEIJING — Chinese citizens could access more than 100,000 government services via online platforms run by provincial-level governments as of the end of 2018, according to an official report.
The assessment report on China’s online government services was made by the e-government research center of the Party School of the Communist Party of China Central Committee (National Academy of Governance), commissioned by the e-government office of the State Council General Office.
The government services accessible online are provided by 1,418 departments at the provincial level, regarding various issues such as administrative permission, the report said.
In October 2018, the government of the southwestern Tibet autonomous region put its service website on a trial run, meaning China’s 32 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions all have their own government service e-platforms.
The report also said the e-platforms should improve the user experience and that relative governments and departments should enhance their efficiency when providing services online.
