Topic > China's e-Government - 1141

The international community has already started the application of e-government system especially in some of the most respected institutions in the world and has supported this concept. The United Nations has already expressed its position on the idea of ​​e-government as seen in the 2001 Human Development Report, stating that the institution will do its best to create technologies that aid human development. The report argues that the use of ICT would allow the United Nations to establish the importance of making technology work hand in hand with development. The World Bank also used the concept of e-government on its website, and months later, in November 2002, published a manual titled "E-Government Manual for Developing Countries." The development met in Geneva and Tunis in 2003 and 2005 respectively and discussed how to use ICT in the system. Other developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have already implemented the e-government program in their governments, while others have followed suit. (Holliday & Yep, 2005) The ability of e-government to introduce transparent government has also been a speculative debate among experts as countries have different perception and definition of e-government and how it is implemented exactly in each country. Hood (2007) notes that transparency is not well defined but is often invoked and applied in public management; stating that this is a government clearly without any shadow of corruption and mismanagement. Transparency can be identified in four different variations, each of which determines how it is applied. The first variant, open mutual examination... middle of the card... increase in the country's influence around the world. How exactly has the e-government process changed China's traditional government and its efficiency since it was applied to the country in 1999? Has China changed anything to allow the program to perform its function properly? What are the opinions of the public, non-governmental organizations and critics towards China's e-government? What are the detected errors that the program missed? Did the program do justice to its original purpose of showing government openness in promoting transparency and public influence in government affairs? What could happen in the future of Chinese e-government and what could be fixed? This article will discuss these particular issues and the theme of China's e-government program and explain what has changed in China's political outlook since its inception.
