Improvement in Chinese Government Network

Having read The Networked Nonprofit, I gradually realized the necessity for Chinese government to improve the network and do feel happy for they have started put attentions on it.
When I was in my 2nd undergraduate year, I took part in a student NGO program. One program in that time was cooperating with a women organization which helping unemployed women in age 40s, 50s. Our main target was making a connection between the agency, government, and public. At that time, local government did have policy to help this kind of organizations, but for lacking of good communication channels and methods to the public, we spent lots of time on initial steps and missed many good opportunities if we could use that policy immediately. Women organization is the most common not-for-profit organization in China. Our group then made unique website and blog for our target organization, which help them to be known and understand. Also, we posted their information on school's website and Blackboard. In this way, we easily made more profit than they did before, which mostly depended on the help from students and faculties.
Though Facebook and Twitter have been blocked in China, but we still have effective and effecient way to communicate as those two.
In this winter section, some of our classmates went to China. They told me there was a new issues in Chinese Public Administration field these years - increasing the transparency and publishing more information to public. As a Chinese, I can say the relationship between new generation and government is not that good as before. Chinese government no doubt has to balance a lot for the economy and political reasons, but the good relationship between government and public is much more crucial. The officials find the fundamental problem is that with the high speed of digital technology development, mass information may lead public to the wrong directions. From the Chairman to the common supervisors, governors created more chances to built a good network with individuals, companies and organizations. Though there are still many problem, but it is really good for them and public.
