It is a bit worse than that. The Army supports itself by operating businesses. They are very probably more aggressive in looking out for their financial interests than is the government. That makes them a larger threat to world peace than the National People's Congress, an entirely separate entity.
The tongs have the same interests in money and power, but they are more covert about it.
But yes, in terms of abuse of power, their system does seem to compare with ours.
