The demerit comes from the Regulations on Punishment of Civil Servants in Administrative Organs promulgated on June 1 2007. What he means is that civil servants of administrative organs who are at fault are punished to varying degrees in accordance with relevant regulations.
The types of punishment are warning, demerit recording, gross demerit recording, demotion, dismissal and expulsion. Each kind of punishment has its corresponding punishment time, and these have relevant regulations. The appointment and removal organ must investigate and deal with violators in accordance with certain penalties. In our life, it is easy to confuse demerit with gross demerit. Actually, it's different. It's more serious to record a demerit than to record a major one.
