This market will resolve to "Yes" if Chinese General Zhang Youxia is sentenced to any time in jail/prison for any charges by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". This market will remain open through December 31, 2026 or until Zhang Youxia is sentenced to time in jail/prison, regardless of any initial sentencing that does not include prison. Any sentencing will qualify, regardless of subsequent appeals or changes to the sentence. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Chinese government and law enforcement; however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.China's ongoing military anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, which purged Central Military Commission vice chairman Zhang Youxia in January 2026 over suspected serious violations of discipline and law, has not advanced to a public prison sentencing four months later. Official announcements confirmed his investigation alongside Joint Staff chief Liu Zhenli, amid absences from key political events like the March 2026 sessions, but no trial or verdict has emerged. Recent May 2026 suspended death sentences for former defense ministers Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu signal continued accountability for lower ranks, yet traders see scant precedent for publicized imprisonment of top PLA princelings like Zhang before 2027, favoring opaque internal handling and driving the 88.5% "No" consensus.
