The Central Military Commission (CMC) is a key body in the governance of the People's Republic of China, responsible for overseeing the country's armed forces. It operates under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and plays a crucial role in military strategy, policy-making, and the overall direction of the military. The CMC is composed of senior military leaders and is headed by the General Secretary of the Communist Party, who is also the Chairman of the CMC. This structure ensures that the military remains aligned with the party's objectives and maintains the party's control over the armed forces.
