Trader consensus on Polymarket's market for Xi Jinping's potential 2026 purges reflects caution after 2024 anti-corruption actions against military figures, including former Defense Ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, and Rocket Force commanders amid graft probes. State media reports highlight ongoing Central Military Commission scrutiny of PLA leadership, tied to modernization setbacks. Ahead of the 2027 Party Congress, implied probabilities favor no major Politburo-level removals, given Xi's post-2022 consolidation, though economic slowdowns could prompt discipline in state firms or provincial roles. Third plenary session outcomes later this year may signal reshuffle risks, underscoring high uncertainty in leadership stability.

1) The listed individual is removed or resigns from their primary political post or from their position, if any, on the Chinese Politburo or its standing committee, with a consensus of credible reporting describing the resignation/removal as a “purge”, “ousting”, or similar language, or to have presumably or definitively occurred as a result of corruption, bribery, other criminal wrongdoing, or a lack of political favor.
2) The listed individual is expelled from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Qualifying announcements and reporting of a purge before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal/expulsion goes into effect.
A listed individual leaving office at the end of a regularly scheduled term, or being removed/resigning from office without a consensus of credible reporting describing the resignation/removal as a “purge”, “ousting”, or similar language, or to have presumably or definitively occurred as a result of corruption, bribery, other criminal wrongdoing, or a lack of political favor, will not qualify.
The resolution sources for this market will be information from the Chinese Government and a consensus of credible reporting.
