Zhang Youxia, the longtime vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, was placed under formal investigation in January 2026 for serious violations of discipline and law, including undermining the CMC chairman responsibility system and fostering corruption. Similar high-profile military cases, such as those involving former defense ministers Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu, required roughly 22 months from investigation to suspended death sentences in May 2026. As of late August 2026, Zhang’s case remains unresolved with no announced trial or verdict, reflecting authorities’ caution given his seniority, age, and potential impact on PLA stability. This extended timeline, combined with the need to manage internal military dynamics ahead of key institutional deadlines, underpins trader consensus that sentencing is unlikely before 2027.
