When people from outside mention some positions, they always feel that they have to be bigwigs at the deputy ministerial level, but in fact, they are "cadres" at the department level.
There is an old saying, "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight", let's take a good break today to see what these seemingly ordinary, but in fact extraordinary positions, are all about.
The system of our country is very complicated, and sometimes people outside can't understand it, and they think that a high position must be well-known.
But in fact, some behind-the-scenes heroes, although they are only at the department level, their weight and influence are not lost to the leaders at the deputy ministerial level.
We often say that "knowing what it is, but also knowing why it is true", although these positions seem to be ordinary in name, but the responsibilities and roles they assume are the key to supporting the important work of the department.
1. Assistant to the Minister
Some people may think, isn't the assistant minister just to help the minister run errands and write?Actually, the assistant minister is not a simple role.
Take the Ministry of Commerce and ** as important departments, the assistant minister not only has to help the minister with daily work, but also has to take on responsibilities similar to those of the vice minister, or be responsible for some special areas of work. Their responsibilities and influence are not small, and sometimes they can even influence the direction of a major decision.
Speaking of their rank, although they are nominally at the level of the main department, don't underestimate them, their actual influence and political treatment are similar to those of the deputy minister.
In ministries, the assistant minister can be said to be the "protagonist behind the scenes" and a key figure in decision-making. They are both the minister's right-hand man and the core of the ministry. It can be said that they play a pivotal role in the process of policy formulation and implementation.
2. Secretary-General of Ministries
Secretary General of the Ministry, this position is not as simple as an ordinary "secretary". In large departments such as the Ministry of Science and Technology and the state, the role of the Secretary-General is very crucial. They are required to assist the Minister in the overall coordination and in the day-to-day running of the department. This is an important and sensitive job, and it is no easier than that of the deputy minister.
We often say "behind-the-scenes heroes", and the secretary general of the ministry is such an existence. Although they are nominally at the level of the department head, their weight and influence in decision-making are absolutely not inferior to those of the deputy minister. The work of the Secretary-General is like that of a "chef", who must make the "big pot dish" of the department both fragrant and nutritious, so as to ensure that the formulation and implementation of policies can be smooth and smooth.
In dealing with day-to-day affairs, the Secretary-General must be like a "living map" and have a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the ministry. They are not only the minister's right-hand man, but also a bridge of communication and coordination within the ministry. It can be said that without the efficient operation of the Secretary-General, it is difficult for the machinery of the ministry to turn smoothly.

Some friends may not have heard of this position, but their role in technical ministries such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is really not covered. Think about it, what is the technical brain of a department responsible for?Technical planning, standard setting, and technological innovation. These things that make people feel like they are big to worry about.
We often say that "details determine success or failure", and the technical fineness of the chief engineer of the ministry is their killer feature. Don't look at their administrative level as a department level, some people may also underestimate them and think that they are not as good as the deputy minister-level bosses. Actually, this is a big mistake.
In terms of technological decision-making and innovation, the influence of the chief engineer of the ministry is no less than that of the deputy minister. They are the leaders of technological development and the representatives of our country's technical talents.
Besides, the professionalism and technology of the chief engineer of the ministry are leveraged. There is a saying"Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work", in these seven points, the chief engineers of the ministries and commissions are definitely spelled out.
They are not only technical masters, but also play a pivotal role in technology strategy and policy formulation.
