✍️ China is transforming its government by appointing technocrats with PhDs from top universities, marking a shift from political patronage to merit-based selection.
👉 Nearly half of the Communist Party's youngest cohort of bureau-level officials hold PhDs 👉 47% of 75 recently appointed bureau-level cadres hold doctoral degrees 👉 23% of the cohort come from Tsinghua University, often called 'China's MIT' 👉 State-affiliated roles offer relative stability amid economic uncertainty 👉 Over 2.8 million candidates, many of them PhDs, competed for fewer than 40,000 national civil service roles
