The Central Military Commission (CMC) is the highest military leading organ of the PRC. It directs the armed forces of the country.

The CMC is composed of the chairman, vice chairmen and members. The chairman of the CMC is elected to the same length of term as the NPC, but there is no restriction on his tenure of office.

The armed forces of the PRC are composed of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese People's Armed Police Force and the militia.

On March 13, 2005, the Third Session of the 10th NPC elected Hu Jintao as CMC chairman. Nominated by Chairman Hu, the session also adjusted and enlarged the CMC
composition, which currently consists of vice chairmen of Guo Boxiong, Cao Gangchuan and Xu Caihou, and members of Liang Guanglie, Li Jinai, Liao Xilong, Chen Bingde, Qiao Qingchen, Zhang Dingfa and Jing Zhiyuan.
