Business activities of the Chinese military

During part of the 1980s and 1990s, the Central Military Commission (CMC) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allowed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the People's Armed Police (PAP) to legally engage in business and trade. This policy was officially promulgated on 2 April 1985. Later, the CMC believed that its drawbacks of this policy were too great, so it gradually rolled back the decision. On 15 December 1998, the PLA and PAP completed the decoupling of most of their operating enterprises. In July 2019, the CMC announced the cessation of all paid services by the military. Currently, only the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) still operates its own businesses.
