Is there any shady interview for provincial civil servants? ...

Hardly. At present, the whole process of the recruitment interview of provincial civil servants is videotaped, and the supervision department of the Commission for Discipline Inspection supervises the whole process. One or two days before the start of the exam, the selected examiners are temporarily notified to concentrate at the designated place, usually in the designated hotel, and the communication tools are handed in. The floor is guarded by armed police, and they are not allowed to enter or leave at will. On the morning of the exam, the examiner's examination room was temporarily decided by drawing lots. The examiner's interview materials have operating instructions, and the examiner is not allowed to operate at will. And the examiner can't leave the examination room until all the exams are over. There was basically no contact with the outside world during this period. Once any abnormality is found, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will start the investigation procedure, and severe cases will be dismissed on the spot. This is an explicit regulation made by the National Civil Service Bureau and the Ministry of Personnel on the recruitment and interview of provincial civil servants, which has been implemented more and more in recent years. Therefore, it is very difficult to play tricks now, except those with deep backgrounds (such as the children of senior officials in the central government). Usually no one dares to take the risk.
