The section chief, who generally exercises the functions entrusted by the government in institutions and government agencies, is at the level of 9- 13 in China's national civil service system and belongs to the responsible department.

4. The director is one of the administrative levels of cadres in our country, and the cadres at the department level (prefectural-level cadres) are senior cadres. For example, the director of the Social Science Research and Ideological and Political Work Department of the Ministry of Education is the main cadre of various departments of ministries and commissions in the State Council. At present, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government have provincial-level institutions, including general offices, personnel departments, public security departments, communications departments, water resources departments, forestry departments, agriculture departments, environmental protection departments, education departments, cultural departments, radio and television departments, religious affairs bureaus and civil affairs departments.

China's administrative levels are divided into five levels: national level, provincial and ministerial level, departmental level, county level and township level, and all levels are divided into deputies. The level of the central ministries and commissions is what we usually call "state, Ministry (province), department, department and branch". In addition to the national level, the other four levels are what we often call local three-level administrative divisions. The common stock level (share level) is a level between the deputy level and the clerk level. It is a conventional title and belongs to the local administrative level.
