Govt's updated English-language website spurs global connections

China is stepping up its global connectivity drive, with the central government launching an updated English-language website with the assistance of China Daily on Wednesday.

Gao Anming, deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily, said during the ceremony that the newspaper group will make the website the first choice for English-language readers to access the Chinese government's policies and to gain an understanding of state leaders and the development of China. It will do so by using a highly professional team and advanced technology.

The new website has six major sections: Premier, News, Policies, State Council, Services and Archive.
