Government at all levels should strengthen the publicity of government information, with the general office of the State Council and local governments at or above county level leading the work, according to a State Council circular released on April 15.

Government at all levels should establish a system for publicizing government information, and designate a department to take care of its daily work, the circular said.

All information, except for any involving State secrets, business secrets, individual privacy, and internal affairs of the government, should be open to the public by active disclosure or upon application, the circular added.
