This market will resolve to “Yes” if either of the following conditions are met by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 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.Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption and loyalty campaign within the Chinese Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army continues to shape trader expectations for 2026 purges. The January 2026 investigations into Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia and Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli capped a multi-year wave that removed five of seven CMC members elevated in 2022, leaving only Xi and discipline chief Zhang Shengmin. These actions, framed as addressing “serious violations of party discipline,” have extended to other senior officers and, by mid-2026, reportedly reached former Politburo Standing Committee member Wang Qishan. Preparations for the 2027 21st Party Congress, including cadre assessments beginning in spring 2026, add institutional pressure that historically accelerates elite turnover through similar mechanisms.
