However, "Merit" is a very vague term, does it mean good performance, glowing evaluations from references, or moral character? Furthermore, appointments based on "superior instruction", "from your gang" (whether it be someone from the same town, or college as you), money, ability to flatter and exaggerate (in a word--people skills) seem to be fairly ubiquitous in corporate and government institutions around the world, and hardly unique to China.
