I've studied the Chinese Civilian Government and the Chinese military rise for several decades and have determined that President XI, who is president for life, is a puppet whose strings are pulled by the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army), which is the overall controlling agency for all Chinese military branches. Moreover the PLA is in control of China's Industrial centralized policy as well as the Foreign and Internal policies of China. This outcome was a gradual process who's history is too complex and lengthy to cover in this communication, but it is the Default Fact to consider in all analysis and diplomatic efforts towards confronting China. The reality of a President for Life in China and the centralized economy ever more focused on expanding Chinese military power and projected dominance regionally and globally only underlines the fact of Chinese PLA virtually totally controlling Chinese goals at present and into the future. Historical examples abound of similar dimensions.

Yes President Xi effectively has control of the PLA by virtue of being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman_of_the_Central_Military_Commission .

This gives Xi supreme military control in China as well as economic strength due to all the military industries/enterprises (weapons builders and research)
- with many corruption benefits for Xi and his family.

Xi also had earlier experience of persuading the PLA - and being persuaded by it - in hiis roles as "vice chairman of the Central Military Commission from 2010 to 2012."

Xi's father Xi Zhongxun's 20+ years in the Chinese communist guerillas then PLA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xi_Zhongxun#Career would have also greatly influenced Xi.
