What are the three categories of classified personnel?

According to the provisions of Article 35 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Guarding State Secrets, personnel working in classified posts (hereinafter referred to as classified personnel) are divided into core classified personnel, important classified personnel and general classified personnel according to the degree of classified management.

Therefore, the classification of classified personnel is generally divided into core classified personnel, important classified personnel and general classified personnel. At present, the classification of classified personnel is mainly based on different classified posts. Secret-related posts refer to posts that are generated, managed or often contacted and know state secrets in daily work. Posts that are generated, managed or frequently contacted in daily work and know top-secret state secrets are core classified posts; Posts that are generated, managed or frequently contacted and know state secrets in daily work are important classified posts; Posts that generate, manage or often come into contact with and know secret-level state secrets in daily work are generally classified posts. The personnel working in the above positions are core secret-related personnel, important secret-related personnel and general secret-related personnel. Organs and units shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions and actual work, formulate specific division standards and management measures.
