Abstract: E-Government has great advantages compared with the practice of traditional government. These included improving administrative efficiency, transforming government functions, reinforcing openness and transparency of governmental behaviour. The advantages also relate to increasing the citizens¡¦ trust and satisfaction with government, cracking down corruption and promoting rule of law. This research argues that e-Government of China is lagged behind that of many other countries. The fundamental reason for this lag is that it is held up by inflexible government systems instead of shortage of capital, technologies and talents. The article points out that China should start by performing the WTO¡¦s transparency principle to fully implement disclosure of the government information. It is supposed to take friendliness, convenience, transparency and inexpensiveness as the value orientation of e-Government. The article also addresses the importance of promoting the development of e-Government.
