GUANGZHOU,
Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- The municipal government of the southern Chinese metropolis
of Guangzhou launched its official microblog Monday, joining other cities that
have used the popular social networking tool to better interact with the
public.
Nearly 12
hours after being officially launched at 9:40 a.m., the microblog had
accumulated over 110,000 followers on both sites.
Twenty-four
municipal government agencies, including police and education authorities, will
post newly-released policies and regulations, work developments, and
information about news conferences on the joint microblog account, Mayor of
Guangzhou Wan Qingliang said.
More
government agencies will join the microblog account in the future, he said.
Last month,
the municipal governments of Beijing and Shanghai unveiled similar news release
platforms, as microblogging is becoming a widely recognized platform and
channel for interactions between the government and the public.
According
to the latest statistics from Internet giant Sina, which operates weibo.com,
nearly 10,000 government agencies had opened verified microblog accounts by
early November this year.
The latest
statistics show that China now has more than 300 million registered microblog
users among its 485 million Internet users.
