Chinese Corruption Reporting Website Crashed by Overload on First Day
A Chinese government Web site encouraging citizens to report corruption crashed on its first day under the weight of too many hits.More here.
China's National Bureau of Corruption Prevention, formed in September after a string of high-profile scandals involving government officials, launched its official Web site (yfj.mos.gov.cn) on Tuesday.
By the afternoon, the Web site could not be opened, the Beijing Youth Daily said. It quoted an official as saying that the "number of visitors was too large".
The Web site was up later on Tuesday, the paper said, and had 12 pages of comments left by Internet users on its discussion board ranging from allegations of collusion between driving schools and government traffic bureaus to criticism of the Web site itself for being "done relatively crudely".
On Wednesday morning the Web site was again down for a while.
