ABSTRACT: It’s been years since Regulations on the Disclosure
of Government Information was issued in 2008. Based on Guangdong’s governmental
information disclosure annual reports from 2008 to 2015, this paper finds there
are several problems in the process of information disclosure, including
diverse statistical standard and measurement inaccuracy in the annual reports
and unbalanced developments in different regions. In conclusion, in order to
achieve higher standard of the government information transparency, much is
needed not only to enhance people’s consciousness, but also to improve the
infrastructure, supervision system and the expertise of the related civil
service.
