Legislator calls for performance-based pension fund

Creating a performance-based pension system for civil servants could help cut down on corruption in the public sector, a national legislator has suggested.

Peng Zhenqiu, a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC), the country's top legislature, has called for the establishment of a civil servant pension fund to which both the government employees and the government contribute.

"Civil servants who have clean records throughout their whole careers would be entitled to receive a full share," Peng told China Daily.
