Abstract: In the social domain, the development of electronic information technology has given birth to Weibo and WeChat, leading us into the era of we-media. The rapid growth of E-government WeChat based on the platform of WeChat reconstructs the relationship between government and the public, at the same time, it also promotes the transformation of social governing modes. The public account of“Shanghai News Release”has become one of the top government WeChat in China within only five years, which results from its relatively perfect front-end structure and back-end structure. As a newly sprouted thing, its function is limited: the citizen appealing function being absent, technical services to be optimized, and the cross-sector and cross-platform synergy to be improved. In order to realize the function of “technology absorbing politics”, the E-government WeChat not only has to improve the technology but also to optimize the policy making process through the setting of political agenda. Meanwhile, it is necessary to transform the state power into basic power, transform the government concepts and mechanisms into service-oriented governments; in addition, the leaders should have the strategic vision and a tolerant and open-minded attitude towards online public opinion.

Key words: technology absorbs politics; we-media; E-government WeChat; function and limit; “Shanghai News Release”
