Is there any document in the law that stipulates that state-owned enterprises cannot recruit people after they stop production?

No. State-owned enterprises refer to organizations established according to law and engaged in production and business activities, all or mainly funded by the state and owned by state-owned enterprises. Official website, from the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, said that the law stipulates that state-owned enterprises can recruit workers after they stop production, but the quality of recruitment should be guaranteed and internal recruitment is strictly prohibited. The recruitment procedures of state-owned enterprises are strict. First, there must be vacant positions to recruit. Second, the recruitment of state-owned enterprises needs to fulfill the internal decision-making process, and the recruitment can only be carried out after approval.
