Over Ten Thousand Incompetent Cadres Switched in Past 5 Years

The leadership cadre system is slowly changing from the traditional "if no mistakes are made, don't change it; if the retirement age isn't reached, don't step down" mentality to one where competent cadres advance and incompetent cadres are let go.

In the past five years, 10,109 incompetent cadres at the office level or higher nationwide have been switched, 366 of them were at the department/bureau level.

One major part of China's cadre system reforms is completing an evaluation system for leadership cadres which will dismiss the incompetent cadres. In 1994, the 4th Plenary Session of the 14th People's Congress proposed the idea of a system to allow cadres to move up and down the hierarchy, so incompetent cadres could be dismissed. Afterwards, the CPC Central Committee published the "Party Leadership Cadres Selection Task Provisional Regulations" and the "Party Leadership Cadre Examination Task Provisional Regulations" to provide a basic standard for changing incompetent cadres.

Local governments around China are searching for new ways to change the incompetent cadres. In 1999, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region used dismissals, demotions and transfers to non-leadership roles to change 32 incompetent cadres at the department/bureau level and 516 cadres at the county office level. Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have used an annual review and mid-term review to confirm the incompetent cadres and make adjustments accordingly. Between 1996 to 1999, 260 cadres in Inner Mongolia were labeled incompetent and demoted, dismissed or warned. In Hunan and Hubei, the cadres are put on a probationary period so the incompetent cadres are weeded out early. In Liaoning and Fujian, cadres are evaluated by a uniform standard and the cadres are ranked by their evaluation marks. The cadres that do not reach a certain level are let go.
