'Extravagant' offices feel netizen's ire

A township government in Central China is coming under fire for its new "extravagant" offices.

Built for the government of Minggang, a township administered by Xinyang city of Henan province, the offices have more than 8,000 square meters of floor space for about only 210 public servants and publicly funded institution workers, China News Service reported on Monday.

Local residents told China News Service that the township's Party chief and mayor each use a 200-sq-m office, and there is an elevator designated for their use only.
