  As a great and glorious socialist country with Chinese characteristics, the levels of our leading cadres are also very characteristic. Even university presidents or editors-in-chief of People's Daily have administrative levels... Friends who are interested in official positions must understand this common sense.

  I'm not very enthusiastic about politics. I like Einstein's saying: "Politics is ephemeral, equations are eternal." In the future, the development model of small government and big society may abolish more and more official hats.

  Here is the translation:

  Note: Various higher education institutions, research institutes, hospitals and other public institutions, their cadres at all levels refer to the treatment of government cadres at all levels, but do not have administrative ranks and are not part of the civil service establishment.

  If a government official at any level is also a member of the standing committee of the party committee at the next higher level, their administrative rank is elevated by one level. For example, if the mayor of Zhangjiagang City is an official at the deputy departmental level, but is also a member of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee, then they are considered to be at the vice-ministerial level.

  As usual, senior cadres are often transferred to corresponding levels of the People's Congress and CPPCC to take on leadership positions after the age of 60 or 65, commonly known as "retreating to the second line" ——

  All 31 schools above are at the deputy ministerial level, and together with the National University of Defense Technology at the deputy major military region level, there are a total of 32 schools. Generally, undergraduate colleges and universities are at the departmental level, while specialized colleges are at the deputy departmental level. As of January 2005, only 31 universities in China were at the deputy ministerial level. From the administrative level, we can see the school's administrative status and the degree of national attention. At the same time, the above-mentioned 32 universities are also key construction universities for the national "985 Project". Comprehensive these two indicators, the above-mentioned 32 universities are currently China's top universities, and also the most valued 32 universities by the state.
