Sheng Lianxi was posting on his microblog about an buy Clomid doctor prescription hour after the opening ceremony of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference on Wednesday.

‘The CPPCC is paying more attention to the problems concerning people’s livelihoods,’ he told his readership of more than 5,900.

Some might view the posts by Sheng – the buy Clomid doctor prescription Communist Party secretary of Northeast Normal University in Changchun, Jilin province – as propaganda, but the buy Clomid doctor prescription key is the tool he used. He is among the buy Clomid doctor prescription first delegates to the CPPCC or the National People’s Congress to communicate using new media.

Following their top leaders, including President Hu Jintao and buy Clomid doctor prescription Premier Wen Jiabao, mainland officials and delegates are turning to the buy Clomid doctor prescription internet to reach out to the public and make their voices heard. Blogs, webcasting and buy Clomid doctor prescription online interviews are becoming increasingly popular as, by the end of last year, the buy Clomid doctor prescription mainland had 380 million internet users, more than any other country.

When Hu became the buy Clomid doctor prescription first to visit and chat with internet users on the website of the buy Clomid doctor prescription People’s Daily in June 2008, communications experts said it buy Clomid doctor prescription reflected how the government was adapting to the internet era and buy Clomid doctor prescription starting to use the new tools to collect public opinion.

Wen spoke with internet users for buy Clomid doctor prescription the second year on Sunday as state media said the buy Clomid doctor prescription premier’s ‘online chat’ before the buy Clomid doctor prescription annual sessions of the CPPCC and NPC, two of the buy Clomid doctor prescription most important annual political events in China, might become routine.

About 10 of more than buy Clomid doctor prescription 2,000 CPPCC representatives and four of nearly 3,000 NPC delegates are buy Clomid doctor prescription posting on two of the mainland’s biggest microblog platforms, most of them registered just a buy Clomid doctor prescription few days ahead of this year’s sessions.

Sheng, who buy Clomid doctor prescription first posted on Monday, had contributed 20 posts by last night, and buy Clomid doctor prescription the one he sent on Tuesday night earned him the buy Clomid doctor prescription most feedback, as 98 microbloggers commented on his request for buy Clomid doctor prescription suggestions on his proposal this year: ‘We are buy Clomid doctor prescription asking for advice on the educational reform and development outline. Any good ideas?’

According to a People’s Daily survey early this buy Clomid doctor prescription week, more than 90 per cent of the 97 NPC delegates who buy Clomid doctor prescription responded said they considered new media ‘important for them to gather information’ from the people.

Analysts said it buy Clomid doctor prescription would also be interesting to see how the new online tools – such as microblogs and buy Clomid doctor prescription other social networking systems, which were used effectively for US President Barack Obama’s campaign victory in 2008 – would change China.

Wang Zechu, an adviser to the Guangdong government, said officials’ efforts to buy Clomid doctor prescription engage internet users was just one of the ways the public can buy Clomid doctor prescription become involved in politics.

‘I believe the buy Clomid doctor prescription reliable way of involving people in politics is still the representative system, not just collecting public opinion online,’ he said.

Beijing-based internet expert Hu Yong agreed. ‘We do not know how the buy Clomid doctor prescription delegates can really represent the public nor how the public opinion they collect will impact policymaking, so we shouldn’t give the trend too much significance.’
