The performance appraisal system for civil servants in China was developed following the establishment of the national civil servants system in 1994. Since the Civil Servant Law of the People's Republic of China was issued, the system has been rectified twice to clarify some technical issues. Although much progress has been made since 1994, the current system is far from successful in practical operation. To improve its implementation among government agencies, the Chinese performance appraisal system needs to address some challenging issues, including the following: better connection of the performance appraisal system with other human resource management (HRM) systems, consideration of the performance budget system, and improvement of appraisal technical activities.

SUMMARYReform of pensions policies is a priority public policy issue around the world. It is high on the agenda across Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, transitional and developing countries alike. The individual country circumstances and drivers of reform may differ, as do the policy directions chosen, but there are also common factors and opportunities for cross‐country learning. These relate not only to technical aspects of pension system design but also to the processes of policy and administrative reform and to issues of development. For PAD, they raise questions about ideas, interests and institutions, as well as about specific pension system design. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
