The author of the article points out that the government relies on support from the people, in order to push forward transparency of government affairs and democratization of decision making.
The Internet can be used as a tool to gather public opinion, the author argues, and web chat is an effective mechanism for the government to learn opinions on how to improve people's livelihood. That's because online opinions have become an indispensable part of public voices.
The People's Daily Online has also published an article saying that if the decision makers want to know whether their polices are popular among the masses and assess the effectiveness of the implementation of these policies, they need to listen to the public's opinions and communicate with them frequently.
