Civil servants, also known as national civil servants, are public officials who are responsible for the overall management of economic and social order and national public resources, safeguarding national laws and regulations, and fulfilling relevant obligations. In our country, civil servants refer to the staff who perform public duties according to law and are included in the state administrative establishment, and their wages and benefits are borne by the state finance.

According to the nature, characteristics and management needs of positions, civil servant positions are divided into comprehensive management, professional technology and administrative law enforcement. According to the Civil Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if the State Council needs to be managed separately because of its special status, other job categories can be added.
