PLA is not a national army


People's Liberation Army is armed structure of the Party, it really is obvious.
You can read more about Mao's idea of an army. It was insanely inefficient, but I'm not well-versed on the subject. While all communist countries had armies acting as ready to mobilise workforce in PRC it was pushed to the extreme without much of combat abilities.

PLA was revolutionary militia, reserve workers, and regular army on the various extent in different periods.
