How China’s military took a frontline role in the coronavirus crisis

Last week, Xi – who chairs the powerful Central Military Commission (CMC) – chose the command centre at military-run Huoshenshan temporary hospital as the first stop of his first official trip to the capital of Hubei province the since outbreak began, reaffirming the PLA’s leading role in fighting the contagion.
