The People's Liberation Army (PLA), with well over 2 million active personnel and more than 500,000 reserves, is not a national army belonging to the state. Rather, it serves as the Party’s armed wing. The PLA’s Central Military Commission is of equivalent rank to the State Council, China’s cabinet, meaning it is not under the civilian control of the State Council.

The PLA’s Central Military Commission is of equivalent rank to the State Council, China’s cabinet, meaning it is not under the civilian control of the State Council. The Communist Party’s constitution states that “the Party commands the overall situation and coordinates the efforts of all quarters, and the Party must play the role as the core of leadership among all other organizations at corresponding levels.” The Party constitution explicitly states that the Communist Party “persists in its leadership over the People’s Liberation Army and other armed forces of the people.”<ref>http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/special/18cpcnc/2012-11/18/c_131982575.htm. </ref>
