Simply put, the State Council has various ministries (such as the Ministry of Education), which are ministerial. There is a department or bureau under the Ministry of Education (such as the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education), which is the bureau level. There is a department under the bureau (such as the textbook editing department of the basic education department), which is the first level. The next place is the section level. Beijing, for example, is a municipality directly under the central government, at the same level and ministerial level as other provinces. The Beijing Municipal Education Bureau is a bureau level, and all districts in Beijing are also bureau levels, which is the same as other regions. The district education bureau is a section chief, and the sub-district office is also a section chief, just like the county magistrate in other places. Departments set up by education bureaus in all districts (such as the Middle School Education Department of Tongzhou District Education Bureau) are all department-level, just like township heads in other places. Cadres at the regimental level are equivalent to divisions, and the rest can be analogized. As for enjoying departmental treatment, it is a reward (or comfort) for cadres who are about to retire or have already retired. For example, he used to be the deputy director of a district education bureau in Beijing, but he is 60 years old and should retire, so he can't be promoted to the bureau level. He worked hard without making any mistakes. what should he do ？ Let's enjoy departmental treatment. So the pension went up, maybe the house was transferred, and the rest was finished. He's not at his post! The car is gone, the dedicated secretary is gone, and the dedicated office is gone, but it sounds justified. Of course, there are similar situations at other levels. For example, the director can enjoy the treatment of deputy ministerial level when he retires, and the deputy minister can enjoy the treatment of ministerial level when he retires. So many people in China want to be officials.
