Oh yeah. There are exams and everything. The Party doesn't just accept anyone. You have to be sharp, and smart, and get good grades at school. And do a whole ton of extra work that doesn't receive a jiao of payment. China's government is made up of scientists and engineers (because those are the only brain types that can pass such grueling endurance tests).
Are these texts required reading for all party members? Do they actually read them if so?
