On February 26, 2016, the State Council client was officially launched. This is a new media platform for the Chinese Government website of the General Office of the State Council to publish government information and provide online services. The main contents released by the State Council APP include the State Council’s major decisions and arrangements, important policy documents, important activities of State Council leaders and other government information. This has also become a new channel for the government to provide services to the society and interact with the public.

Users can download the State Council client through app stores such as Apple, 360 Mobile Assistant, Baidu Mobile Assistant, and Tencent App Store.

After learning that the app was online, a reporter from the Beijing News immediately downloaded the APP. The size is 12M and the download was completed in less than 5 seconds. After the program is started, the "State Council Client, the Central Government Around You" at the top of the interface is impressive.

The overall style of the APP is similar to that of the Chinese government website, with blue as the main color, simple and bright. In addition, the functional design is also very user-friendly. The homepage includes multiple columns such as news, prime minister, policy, and local areas. You can also add columns that interest you, such as supervision and personnel. In addition to the home page, there are also two special contents for the State Council and the Government Affairs Hall.

The relevant person in charge said that the opening of the client is conducive to innovative information disclosure methods, expanding public participation channels for government affairs, and will also promote the construction of a law-based government, an innovative government, a clean government, and a service-oriented government.
