**Zhang Youxia, the former first-ranked vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was placed under formal investigation in late January 2026 for “serious violations of discipline and law,” alongside CMC Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli.** Official statements from the Ministry of National Defense and PLA Daily framed the case around undermining party leadership over the military, with external reporting citing allegations of corruption, bribery linked to promotions, and possible leaks of nuclear-related information. This January 2026 action followed Zhang’s earlier disappearance from public events and aligned with Xi Jinping’s broader pattern of military leadership turnover. As of mid-June 2026, roughly five months later, no public trial, formal charges, or sentencing has been announced. In China’s system, high-level cases typically move through extended internal party disciplinary processes, expulsions, and asset reviews before any criminal proceedings, making a formal prison sentence before the end of 2026 improbable on standard timelines. Traders therefore price “No” at 90.5 percent, reflecting the structural barriers and historical pace of comparable elite investigations rather than any reversal of the underlying purge.
