Xi Jinping has intensified a multi-year campaign of investigations and removals targeting senior People's Liberation Army officers for suspected corruption, disciplinary violations, and insufficient loyalty to party leadership. The January 2026 probes into Central Military Commission vice chairman Zhang Youxia and Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli reduced the CMC to just Xi and one remaining general, following earlier 2025 dismissals of multiple members. Subsequent actions through mid-2026, including a July replacement in the CMC discipline inspection role, underscore the drive to centralize authority and address institutional weaknesses ahead of 2027 readiness targets. This pattern of elite turnover, combined with broader Politburo-level scrutiny, shapes trader focus on potential further targets in military or civilian ranks during the remainder of the year.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if either of the following conditions are met by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
1) The listed individual is removed or resigns from their primary political post or from their position, if any, on the Chinese Politburo or its standing committee, with a consensus of credible reporting describing the resignation/removal as a “purge”, “ousting”, or similar language, or to have presumably or definitively occurred as a result of corruption, bribery, other criminal wrongdoing, or a lack of political favor.
2) The listed individual is expelled from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Qualifying announcements and reporting of a purge before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal/expulsion goes into effect.
