Are CCP leaders able to control the Chinese military (the PLA)?

The world’s largest armed forces, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) doesn’t serve China, the country. It serves the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). For as long as the PLA has existed, its control has been the subject of power struggles within the Communist Party. All CCP leaders, from Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, to Xi Jinping, demanded absolute leadership of the Chinese military, but their control has always been challenged. The CCP and the PLA are in a perpetual tug of war with no winner.
