BEIJING, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- The official website of China's central government, gov.cn, on Thursday began to accept suggestions and opinions from the general public on government work.

Major online news outlets and platforms including people.com.cn and xinhuanet.com are collaborating with the central government website to collect viewpoints on 20 kinds of issues including government service, business environment, education, medical care and employment.
