to - day affairs in mainland China . The members of the civil service are selected through competitive examination . As of year 2009 , China now has about 10 million civil servants and are managed under the Civil Service Law . Most of the civil servants work in government agencies and departments . State leaders and cabinet members , who normally would be considered politicians in political systems with competing political parties and elections , also come under the civil service in China . Civil servants are not necessarily members of the Communist Party , but 95 percent of civil servants in leading positions from division ( county ) level and above are Party members . Contents 1 Levels and ranking system 2 History 3 State Administration of Civil Service 4 Salary and allowances 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Levels and ranking system ( edit ) Chinese civil servants , like their imperial mandarin predecessors , have an extraordinarily regimented system of ranks . The rank system in the civil service and the military were largely abolished during the Cultural Revolution , but restored in the 1980s . The rank of a civil servant are dependent on the positions they assume in the party or the government . Ranks determine the level of benefits in areas such as transportation , housing , and healthcare . The ranks also serve as a rough order of precedence when dictating official protocol when multiple officials attend the same event . The current civil service ranking system has 27 different ranks ( from previously of total 15 levels ) and a grade ( dangci ) system within each rank ( at most 14 grades for each rank ) to reflect seniority and performance ; a combination of rank and dangci ultimately determine pay and benefits . The 27 ranks are sub-divisions of 11 `` levels '' . The following is a non-exhaustive list of party and state positions corresponding to their civil service rank . The list only comprises `` leadership positions '' ( lingdao ganbu ) , but not civil servants who are not in leadership positions . Non-leading civil servants can be given high corresponding ranks . For example , an expert or advisor hired by the government on a long - term initiative does not manage any people or lead any organization , but may still receive a sub-provincial rank . Similarly , retired officials who take on lesser - ranked ( usually ceremonial ) positions after retirement would generally retain their highest rank . Occasionally , officials may hold a position but be of a higher rank than what the position indicates , for example a Deputy Prefecture - level Party Secretary who holds a full prefecture - level rank .

organized civil service . In ancient times eligibility for employment in the civil service was determined by an Imperial examination system . State administration of civil service ( edit ) The State Administration of Civil Service ( SACS ) was created in March 2008 by the National People 's Congress ( NPC ) . It is under the management of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security ( MHRSS ) , which resulted from the merger of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security . The function of the administration covers management , recruitment , assessment , training , rewards , supervision and other aspects related to civil service affairs . The SACS also has several new functions . These include drawing up regulations on the trial periods of newly enrolled personnel , further protecting the legal rights of civil servants and having the responsibility of the registration of civil servants under central departments . The SACS 's establishment was part of the government 's reshuffle in 2008 . It aimed at a `` super ministry '' system to streamline government department functions . Salary and allowances ( edit ) There are three main components of civil service pay according to the 2006 pay regulation by the State Council of the PRC , namely base pay ( 基本 工资 ) , cost - of - living allowances ( 津 补贴 ) , and bonus ( 奖金 ) .
