Public Servants

Public servants are the functionaries who perform public duties in accordance with the law. They are on the state administrative payroll and receive salaries and benefits from the state revenues.

China has built its system of public servants based on upholding the CPC leadership under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, following the basic guideline for the primary stage of socialism, the Party’s organizational line for the new era, and the principle of the Party supervising the officials.

According to the Law on Public Servants, public servants are selected on the basis of both integrity and ability, with greater weight given to integrity, and on merit regardless of background, to ensure that the dedicated, impartial and upright are appointed. One's performance, especially political performance, is valued in the selection process.

Category-specific management of the public servants ensures efficiency and sound performance. In China, public servants include all the staff, except those doing temporary work, who work in the CPC departments, bodies of the people's congresses and their standing committees, administrative organs, bodies of the CPPCC committees, supervisory, judicial and procuratorial bodies, and bodies of the eight other political parties and the federations of industry and commerce. The leading officials are elected, or appointed, or engaged, and other public servants are either appointed or engaged. Members of the leading bodies all serve fixed terms in line with relevant state regulations.
