18. Disadvantages (1) Lack of a mature operating and managing mode:
As an English website developing in China, it craves for a matching operating system in regards of contents organization, translation, maintenance, supervision, etc..
Lack of a sound channel for intercommunication
In that the website aims to serve whoever interested in popular science throughout the world, it is badly in need of a timely and accurate feedback system, which is crucial for the website in satisfying the visitors’ appetites.

19. Disadvantages (2) Lack of explicit and precise translation:
Attributing to the lingual gap, it is hard for Chinese translators to achieve perfect English expression completely catering to native English speakers
Lack of vivacity and interaction in terms of contents:
Not making fully use of multimedia technologies, the predominant embodying form is still based on texts
