Administrative law enforcement refers to a specific administrative legal act (problem solving) in which the administrative subject handles specific events (problems in materials) according to administrative law enforcement procedures and relevant laws and regulations, and directly affects the rights and obligations of the counterpart. According to the different requirements of comprehensive management above the provincial level (including sub-provincial level), comprehensive management below the municipal level and administrative law enforcement posts, two types of papers are set up for the general application examination.

Compared with the comprehensive management and professional and technical posts of government agencies, administrative law enforcement posts have the following characteristics: First, they are purely administrative. There is only the right to enforce laws and regulations, not the right to interpret them, and there is no responsibility to study and formulate laws, regulations and policies. This is especially different from comprehensive management positions. The second is on-site enforcement. Direct supervision, punishment, coercion and inspection of specific management objects on site according to laws and regulations. Administrative law enforcement posts are mainly concentrated in public security, customs, taxation, industry and commerce, quality inspection, drug supervision, environmental protection and other government departments, and only exist in the grass-roots units of these government departments. The examination for comprehensive management positions at or above the provincial level (including sub-provincial level) mainly measures the reading comprehension, comprehensive analysis, problem-solving and written expression of candidates.
