Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign, framed around enforcing political loyalty and “self-revolution,” remains the dominant driver of trader expectations for further high-level removals in 2026. The January 2026 investigations into Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia and Joint Staff Department Chief Liu Zhenli—following 2025 ousters of He Weidong, Miao Hua, Li Shangfu, and others—reduced the CMC to minimal membership and underscored that even long-serving associates face scrutiny. Over one million disciplinary cases were handled in 2025, with military targets prominent and signals from the CCDI indicating sustained intensity. Outcomes hinge on whether the focus stays on PLA ranks or shifts to civilian Politburo or provincial figures ahead of the next major party gathering.
