Zhang Youxia, longtime vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was placed under investigation in January 2026 for “serious violations of discipline and law,” alongside Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli. Official statements cited corruption alongside political charges of undermining party leadership over the military, fitting the pattern of Xi Jinping’s extended PLA purge that has removed multiple senior generals. No formal charges, trial, or sentencing have been announced as of August 2026. High-level anti-corruption cases in the Chinese system routinely involve extended investigations before any public verdict, as seen with former defense ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, who faced probes years earlier and received suspended death sentences only in May 2026. This timeline and procedural opacity underpin traders’ strong consensus against a prison sentence by the end of 2026.
