Constitutional and legal foundations of public service in the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China: a comparative legal analysis

Novikov Andrey B., Delegeoz Elena G.

The subject of the article is a set of norms of Chinese and Russian legislation concerning the legal regulation of relations in the sphere of the state civil service. The article analyzes the provisions of Chinese legislation concerning admission to the state civil service, training of state civil servants and the prevention of corruption among officials. As a result of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that China and Russia are using a wide range of legal liability measures in order to counteract corruption offenses. In China, a system of "double rails" is used - an approach in which the responsibility of persons suspected of corruption crimes comes first through the party line and then through the law enforcement agencies. In Russia, serious additions were made to disciplinary measures in terms of introducing a new type of punishment - dismissal due to loss of confidence, which can be applied in cases of non-compliance with anti-corruption restrictions and prohibitions. On the basis of the comparative legal analysis, a conclusion is made about the mutual improvement of the legislation of China and Russia by introducing the best theoretical provisions and practical experience into it.
