Command, control, and oversight of mainland China's military, paramilitary, police, and intelligence institutions — how coercive power is organized today, and what civilian control under law would require. The first dossier maps the current institutional baseline: who commands what, and through which Party and state channels. The second examines the domestic-security apparatus built around stability maintenance. Both are factual companions to the forward-design blueprint "Security-Sector Transition & Rule-of-Law Safeguards," which sets out the transition sequence; these pages describe the starting point. Where the public record is thin, the dossiers say so and frame the open questions rather than asserting findings.
