This market will resolve to "Yes" if Chinese General Zhang Youxia is sentenced to any time in jail/prison for any charges by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". This market will remain open through December 31, 2026 or until Zhang Youxia is sentenced to time in jail/prison, regardless of any initial sentencing that does not include prison. Any sentencing will qualify, regardless of subsequent appeals or changes to the sentence. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Chinese government and law enforcement; however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus assigns an 85.5% implied probability to no prison sentence for Zhang Youxia before 2027, driven by his enduring prominence as Vice Chairman of China's Central Military Commission (CMC) and a key figure in the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Recent public appearances at high-level PLA events in October 2024 signal his continued favor within Xi Jinping's leadership circle, amid an anti-corruption campaign that has ensnared other officials like former defense ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe but spared Zhang. No official announcements, indictments, or credible reports of investigations have emerged in the past 30 days, reinforcing the low likelihood of legal action absent a sudden political purge or scandal. The three-year window allows for shifts, but current stability dominates trader assessments.
