Levels
Civil servants are found in a well-defined system of ranks. The rank of a civil servant determines what positions he/she may assume in the government or the military, how much political power he/she gets, and the level of benefits in areas such as transportation and healthcare.
The present new ranking system has 27 different ranks (from previously of total 15 levels) and a grade (dangci) system within each rank (at most 14 grades for each rank) to reflect seniority and performances.
The 27 ranks are:
| Rank | Post(s) |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 to 3 | State-Leader level. |
| Rank 4 to 6 | Vice-State-Leader level. |
| Rank 7 to 8 | Ministerial (Provincial) level. |
| Rank 9 to 10 | Vice-Ministerial (Provincial) level. |
| Rank 11 to 12 | Bureau-Director level. |
| Rank 13 to 14 | Deputy-Bureau-Director level. |
| Rank 15 to 16 | Division-Head level. |
| Rank 17 to 18 | Deputy-Division-Head level. |
| Rank 19 to 20 | Section-Head level. |
| Rank 21 to 22 | Deputy-Section-Head level. |
| Rank 23 to 24 | Section member. |
| Rank 25 to 27 | Office worker |

Famous quotes containing the word levels:
“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“The only inequalities that matter begin in the mind. It is not income levels but differences in mental equipment that keep people apart, breed feelings of inferiority.”
—Jacquetta Hawkes (b. 1910)
“When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
