On this day, 27 years ago, on December 16, 1998 (October 28, 1998, the lunar calendar), my country established its first large-scale "government network". On December 16, 1998, the Beijing City Government's "Capital Window" working conference revealed that the "Capital Window" site industry had been opened, becoming my country's first large-scale "government network." People who want to report problems can communicate directly with the mayor online through the mayor's mailbox, etc., and the public has a new channel to understand the government's policies-the Internet. Beijing plans to basically realize that all municipal and state organs (including the Municipal Party Committee, the National People's Congress, and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) have access to the Internet by the end of September 1999. At the end of November 1998, it was reported that the national information department would launch the "Government Internet Project" nationwide. Relevant departments have designated 1999 as the "Government Internet Year" and plan to set up sites on the China Public Multimedia Communication Network (163/169 Network) by 2000.
