As a revolutionary clique existing under the Party's leadership for a long time, it was characterized by "traditional features," such as not being open to all citizens, politics overwhelming administration, management based on personal style rather than professional norms, etc. These features, to a large degree, produced a corresponding administrative attitude, ethics and behavior, which include a sense of "paternal official," self-discipline, adoring personalized authority. They in turn support the traditional system with both positive and negative consequences. The economic reform provided the impetus for changing the traditional system, and new framework with a strange civil service emerged, with such professional characteristics as opening jobs up to the whole society, respect for law and regulation, management and promotion based on merit, etc. However, the negative side of the economic reform has hindered the further development of professionalization. In particular, corruption and negligence of administrative ethics have undermined the new system. Further professionalization needs a spirit provided by rebuilding public administration: changing ideology and attitude, innovating institutions, and reforming the culture. - Reproduced  aAdministrative ethics - China  aAdministrative ethics  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  a45765  c45765d45765  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 23, Issue no: 11pAR46189r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
