Is it just me
Or are some government websites from around the world seriously shit?
Example: The website of the Chinese government.
Am I the only one who finds this kind of thing baffling, and rather nigglingly unsatisfactory?
I mean, here is a country that has a massively expanding economy, (7th largest in the world.) the world's largest population, resources beyond measure, has done much to economically westernise itself, and yet it still has an official site which looks for all the world as if it was designed by a student of GCSE IT with the assistance of Microsoft Paint.
(Taiwan, bizzarely, has an infinetly better site.)
I know that I'm sounding like a crazed idiot here, and that Dante will make a post saying 'I'm personally more concerned about the brutality of the Chinese Government rather than it's website ', but this really gets on my piabs to an almost inordinate extent. I feel like e-mailing them and asking them "Seriously, who the **** designed your website? You should really consider legal proceedings against them'.

Re: Is it just me
It must just be you, no one has replied.
Plus, when you don't read Chinese, the Chinese government's website is probably difficult to read.
Oh, they seem to know know English, who knew.

Re: Is it just me
So it shouldn't be flashed out on the frontpage, maybe on a restricted area...

They are cute, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything worth cuddling on a Chinese person.

Re: Is it just me
MM , you are aware that the majority of machines in less developed countries still run unbelievably backward technologically, hence websites like that look state of the art.

Re: Is it just me
Granted, although for some reason I didn't expect that the Chinese government would use an Amstrad 464 to design it's website, though. I rather supposed they would be privy to greater technology than that.

I think it's better than spending millions on a useless website like my government did.

What sort of a genius level maths problem involves multiplying/dividing/subtracting/adding two very long numbers together?
