Russia's massive command centers are housed in the remodeled Ministry of Defense building in Moscow. Newly released videos (1,2) provide a peek into the Chinese Military Commission's Joint Battle Center.
The CMC was reportedly established around 2014-2015 as part of a series of reforms aimed at making the Chinese military more capable of unified operations and to facilitate more streamlined command and control at the highest rungs of China's leadership. Atop that command structure is President Xi Jinping -- General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Chinese Military Commission. He also adopted the name "Commander In Chief," emulating American Presidents, and has continued executing a series of consolidation of power plays that have secured tighter control over the military, reducing competition among China's political leadership.
