Government to boost integration with internet

China is stepping up in improving government services via the Internet Plus and aims to set up a nationwide internet-based government service system by the end of 2020, according to a new State Council guideline.

The guideline was approved at a State Council executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday.

Internet Plus, proposed by Premier Li, refers to applying the internet and other information technology resources to conventional industries to foster new industries and businesses.
