Information flow showcases China

State Council office says transparency helps world better understand country

China's top information office has held a record number of news conferences this year on key issues that have drawn worldwide attention. In 2016, it will be even more open and release valuable information on changes and development in China, the head of the information office said.

"The State Council Information Office has held about 120 news conferences in 2015. On average, there is a news conference about every three days. The number would reach more than a thousand if you include the news conferences held by different ministries," Jiang Jianguo, minister of the State Council Information Office, said on Thursday.
