Are government employees public officials?

Legal analysis: government employees are not civil servants, but openly recruited to the society like civil servants, and do not occupy the establishment of government departments after employment. Only through public examination, strict inspection, equal competition and merit-based admission are civil servants.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Civil Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) adopts the methods of public examination, strict inspection, equal competition and merit-based admission when hiring the first-level chief clerk and other civil servants below the equivalent rank.

When recruiting civil servants in ethnic autonomous areas in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, appropriate care should be given to ethnic minority applicants in accordance with the law and relevant regulations.
