Anti-corruption website crashes on first day
Found on China Daily on Sunday, 23 December 2007
The website of the National Bureau of Corruption Prevention (NBCP) crashed on Tuesday, just hours after its launch, as droves of people logged on to complain about corruption among officials.
An NBCP official, who did not want to be named, confirmed the breakdown had occurred.
"The number of visitors was very large and beyond our expectations," he said.
"The corruption problem in China is a fatal illness. Establishing more institutions will not solve the problem," one comment read.
Corruption won't be solved by bringing up a website. The question is if the collected information is actually used, or if it's just a plan to calm down the people.
