Huian City Government in China has given China Expert Technology (CXTI) a US$17 million contract to implement e-government services program, ranging from hardware and e-government training facilities to call centre services.
This initiative has been taken up after the recent success of similar programmes. In Beijing 72 per cent of tax reports are now submitted through the internet, according to China Daily.
Farmers are also making extensive use of online systems and in one township 57 per cent of the total peach output in 2004 was sold through online channels.
