Tell them what to do? Surely, you jest. (The million guys with guns answer to their generals. Pushing the generals too hard is politically impossible/stupid.)
Eta: I first learned about the power of the PLA during my studies with Michael Oksenberg, who was about as expert as it gets wrt the makeup of the Chinese government (I.e. even Deng sought his advice on a regular basis). Since I don't want to politicise this thread, I simply advise those interested to Google "power 'pla'". Just read a few articles, and you'll get the picture.
