Hold civil servants who resign to the regulations

THREE SENIOR CIVIL SERVANTS in East China's Shandong province have reportedly left office and started new careers as senior executives in financial enterprises. Changjiang Daily commented on Thursday:

Many believe that civil servants resign to pursue better pay, otherwise they would not quit their seemingly glamorous government posts.

Up to a point, such an assumption makes sense and government employees have the right to pursue other professions regardless of their true intentions.
