Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Authorities crack down on pointless formalities
The civil service of China consists of all levels that are responsible for day-to-day affairs. It is called an iron rice bowl as it is considered the most guaranteed job opportunity with a steady income and lucrative benefits. There are over 10 million civil servants who work in government agencies and departments in China. The members are selected through extremely competitive examinations like they had been over 2,000 years. By nature, these civil servants tend to be bureaucratic and try to follow the formalities rather than practicalities. Indeed, formalities give them jobs and excuses. However, China’s leaders are now more efficiency and transparency driven than ever before. They want grassroots employees to work more efficiently to deal with new challenges like coronavirus pandemic and social development to improve living standards and win support from the public. So, they inspected 69,000 civil service cases last year extensively and punished over 50,000 officials for bureaucratism and formalism. What a progressive move to the millennium-old system!
While its archrival had been too busy with a political battle that divided the nation incurably, China has been working on reshaping the country to a new era.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about China’s move towards sustainable growth.
