Yunnan
Holds Public Examinations to Select Officials
In order to prevent corruption within the
human resources sector, Yunnan Province is to hold public examinations
to select from candidates for official posts at departmental
and prefecture level. A total of 3,927 people have registered
for the examination that will fill 1,500 posts. Previously the
list of reserve officials was decided by members of senior government
ranks, and even those listed were unaware that they were being
considered. A large-scale examination such as this is rare in
China.
