The political commissar of the People's Liberation Army is a unique feature of China in China. There is no country except the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in history.

The political commissar's duty is the ideological and political education of soldiers, which is somewhat similar to the chaplain of foreign troops. But there is no comparability. The chaplain of the foreign army has no command in the battle, but the political commissar cooperates with the head of the military region and the chief of staff in the battle.

China's military command is called "double heads". Military and political leaders are "single leaders", only military leaders.

Therefore, the political commissar is not equivalent to any position in the foreign army.
