Abstract
Later this year, Beijing will host an important convocation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that will bring about a major turnover of China's top political and military leadership. The upcoming leadership changes will elevate civilian party leaders who have little or no military experience and military leaders whose political experience is increasingly limited. The creation of increasingly separate civilian and military leaderships in China will have profound consequences for civil-military relations and for command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
