Zhang Youxia, the senior vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was placed under investigation in January 2026 for serious violations of discipline and law, followed by formal removal from his CMC and NPC posts in August 2026 amid Xi Jinping’s broader military anti-corruption drive. Official statements and PLA Daily commentary have cited corruption, political factionalism, and challenges to party leadership over the armed forces. Similar cases involving other senior officers, including former defense ministers, have progressed through investigation, expulsion, and prosecution over extended periods before any sentencing. With less than four months remaining until 2027 and no reported trial or verdict, the procedural timeline in China’s military justice system makes a prison sentence before the cutoff highly improbable according to current trader consensus.
