Central Military Commission (People's Republic of China)

The Central Military Commission (ZMK; Chinese中央 军事 委员会, pinyin Zhongyang Junshi Wěiyuánhuì ) the PRC has the direct command of the People's Liberation Army. In contrast, the Defense Department has no power of command and is used only for political purposes, such as contact with the armed forces of other nations.

Structure

ZMK is a political hermaphrodite organ. Originally it was an organ of the Communist Party of China and was occupied directly by the Central Committee. Since the Constitution of 1982, she is also state organ and the National People's Congress, at least formally responsible. In appearance depending on whether they occur as " ZMK the CCP ' (Chinese中国 共产党 中央 军事 委员会) or" ZMK the PRC " (Chinese中华人民共和国 中央 军事 委员会).

The post of chairman of the ZMK is one of the key posts in the Chinese government. Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin these items kept still for a while ago, after they had already submitted their other state and party offices.

The apparatus of the Central Military Commission is composed of the

• General Staff (总参谋部/总参谋部, zǒng CAN MOU bù, English General Staff Department )
• A political department (总政治部/总政治部, zǒng Zheng Zhi bù, Eng. General Political Department),
• A logistic department (总后勤部/总后勤部, zǒng Hou Qin bù, Eng. General Logistics Department ) and
• An armor division (总装备部/总装备部, Zǒng Zhuang bèi bù, Eng. General Armament Department ( GAD) ).

These four departments also act as executive organs of the Ministry of Defence, against which the Central Military Commission is authorized to issue. 2004, the State Central Military Commission was extended by the Commander of the Army, Air Force and Navy to eleven members. This is probably the ability to operations in the composite of the armed forces increase with the inclusion of high air and naval officers in the General Staff.

The ZMK and its four departments are subordinate to both the seven military regions and the armed services. The departments also have separate hierarchies and communication structures for military- operational, political and logistical tasks that extend independently by the VBA.
