How the Civil Service operates

There are approximately 10,000 government positions within the Chinese Civil Service. There are two levels of positions. The lower, entry level of the service is called the executory level. Members of the executory level will fill jobs throughout all the prefectures of the country. Those members of the executory level who show great ability will be promoted to the administrative level. Administrative jobs are in the capital and at court, and give high prestige and honor to the families of those who hold them.
