5月28日郑州市政府正式开通的帐号为“西瓜办”的微博最近遭遇了质疑。
The microblog account "watermelon office," which was officially launched by Zhengzhou city government on May 28, has recently come under fire.
The Sina Weibo account was launched after the city government of Zhengzhou, capital city of Henan province, created a plan to help farmers sell their watermelons.
However, the public did not know that the city established such an office in 2006. Residents have raised questions, including – is it really necessary to open such a specialized office and - if yes - why do they not have a pumpkin office, eggplant office and other similar offices?
The city government responded to the comments, saying that it is a temporary office and it will be closed when summer ends.
