China 's Open Government Information System Build

Freedom of government information is the objective requirement of people's sovereignty theory, the development of people's right to know campaign, the transformation of government functions, and the honoring of the commitment of China's entry to WTO. It is of great significance for China to ensure citizen's basic rights, and promote political participation; enhance administration efficiency, and promote economic development; build a government under sunshine, and prevent corruption. To make a comprehensive survey about the freedom of government information system,the practice of the United States of America is of the most useful reference for China and the whole world at large. The series of principles, procedures and the broad environment established by US for the operation of the freedom of government information offer us beneficial enlightenment.Under the advocacy of the central authority, and government at all levels, some instructive explorations have conducted for the freedom of government information in our country. The freedom of government information statute of People's Republic of China, as a stage accomplishment, which unified the freedom of government information has been issued. However, the freedom of government information in our country as a whole is still on its primary stage and there exist a lot of problems. The reason lies in our traditional political culture, as well as the flaw of the system building itself. The freedom of government information is a comprehensive and systematic project. In China, what we need to do know is to strengthen the complementary system building for the freedom of government information and create a loose and favorable broad environment for local authority to apply the statute in combination of local conditions, improve and solve the practical problems confronted in reality.
