Youths want fair play in job-hunting (2)

Once the university released Deng's detailed resume, which featured a doctor's degree in chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a couple of papers published in prestigious journals including "Nature" and "Science," members of the public who questioned his qualifications are left "envious."

In China, even professors at the most prestigious universities find it hard to publish research results in such top journals.

Yu Guoming, a professor with the Beijing-based Renmin University, said the public are sensitive to fake employments and quick promotions because they are concerned about equal job opportunities and transparency in moving up the career ladder.

Yu's view is echoed by Ding Yuanzhu, a professor with the Chinese Academy of Governance. Ding said it is not age that caused suspicion but equal access to opportunities and transparency are what people really cared about in such cases.

Jiang admitted that he admired Deng Hexiang's achievements, but said he is angered by the fake employment scandal. He told Xinhua if jobs can be easily secured by one's relatives, a person from a rural area like him will be left in a very disadvantaged position.

The fake employment scandal revealed that in some places appointments of officials are still conducted in a nontransparent way.

In recent months, Internet users uncovered a couple of government officials who were promoted in violation of regulations. In one case in March, Xu Tao, deputy head of the county government in central China's Hunan Province, was found to have been promoted but not through standard procedures. He was demoted in May.

Young Chinese people want to realize their dreams through hard work but fake employment and quick promotion scandals weigh on them, said Xiong Bingqi, vice president of the Beijing-based 21st Century Education Research Institute.

President Xi Jinping encouraged the youth to be brave in chasing their dreams and work hard to fulfill them while joining young people in a discussion to mark the country's Youth Day on May 4.

Xi asked all levels of Party committees and the government to create favorable conditions for young people's career development.

At a time when landing a job is not easy, graduates are more worried about equal job opportunities than the lack of job vacancies, Xiong said.

In addition to cracking down on corruption regarding employment, the government should work hard to create regulations and laws that will spur equity in employment, Xiong added.
