I wonder if the map is complete. It seems to indicate there are no major military units to the West of 100 degrees East, namely none in Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu; nor any in the far north, namely none in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang. Some Muslims in Xinjiang and Tibetans in Tibet, Qinghai and Gansu have been known to be anti-central government. And, in the past, there have been confrontations with Russian army units up north.
Of course, I am forgetting the 1.5m People’s Armed Police. Maybe that’s where they are mainly posted.
