Ever since the establishment of the communist regime in China, national wage policy for civil servants has undergone a series of momentous reforms following shifts in the political and economic environment. Our studies into the evolution of national wage policies under Communist China reveals that, in addition to a central totalitarianistic policy style, PRC policies have developed under two alternating ideological systems, the first wherein pay is distributed in accordance to one's work and a second egalitarian system. These developments are intrinsically related to political power struggles that have taken place between factions within the communist government. Since the beginning of reforms in 1978, the communist Chinese government has adjusted national wage policies to bring them in line with modern personnel systems in order to enhance the efficiency of administrative departments, making it the most important link in administrative reforms. China was particularly active in adopting modern wage concepts in the national civil service system set up in 1993. This system was directed at carrying out more extensive wage policy reforms for government organizations and the pay standards for civil servants notably increased. This served as a work incentive to raise the administrative efficiency of civil servants and thus helped to slow a government brain drain. National wage policies, however, must be linked with other personnel systems. This is especially true of an inflexibly fair civil service evaluation system which is the basis for rational wage policies, but in China, the thought and political performance of civil servants are still important factors in the national civil service evaluation system. Therefore, under the influence of the highly political environment and the administrative culture of the Communist Chinese administrative system, it is impossible to set up national wage policies based on merit. These particular features will hinder reforms in administrative modernization. This study analyzed the evolution of Communist China's national wage policies and the pros and cons of current national wage policies under the national civil service system. It discusses the special characteristics of Chinese Communist national wage policies.
