Zhang Youxia, the former first-ranked vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, has been under investigation since January 2026 for serious violations of discipline and law, including allegations of undermining the CMC chairman responsibility system and related offenses. He was formally removed from the state CMC and lost his National People’s Congress seat in late August 2026, following a broader military purge that has targeted dozens of senior officers. No public trial, charges, or sentencing has been announced as of early September 2026. High-level Chinese cases of this nature typically involve extended internal reviews before any formal judicial outcome, making a prison sentence before the end of 2026 improbable under the current timeline. Trader consensus reflected in the 90.5% “No” price aligns with these procedural realities and the absence of recent developments indicating imminent resolution.
