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.Chinese leader Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign has escalated dramatically in 2026, with the April 3 ouster of Politburo member Ma Xingrui—the third such removal from the elite decision-making body in six months—signaling that no high-ranking official is immune, even close allies. This follows intense military purges earlier in the year, including investigations into top People's Liberation Army generals like Zhang Youxia in January and the expulsion of nine officials ahead of the March Two Sessions. Reports indicate over 50 senior officers targeted since 2023, raising concerns about command disruptions. Traders monitor Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announcements and National People's Congress sessions for signals of further Politburo or Central Committee shake-ups before year-end, amid Xi's power consolidation drive.
