The Central Military Commission (CMC) (simplified Chinese: 中央军事委员会; traditional Chinese: 中央軍事委員會; pinyin: Zhōngyāng Jūnshì Wěiyuánhuì) refers to the parallel national defense organizations of the Communist Party of China and the People's Republic of China: the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (simplified Chinese: 中国共产党中央军事委员会), a Party organ under the CPC Central Committee, and the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 中华人民共和国中央军事委员会), a central state organ under the National People's Congress, being the military branch of the national government.
The command and control of the world's largest military force, People's Liberation Army, People's Armed Police and People's Liberation Army militia is exercised in name by the State CMC, supervised by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. The State CMC is nominally considered the supreme military policy-making body and its chairman, elected by the National People's Congress, is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. In reality, command and control of the PLA, however, still resides with the Central Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee—the Party CMC.
