Pronóstico: Xi Jinping out before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event at the heart of this contract is whether Xi Jinping, China’s General Secretary of the Communist Party, is removed from power for any duration between July 2025 and December 2026. Polymarket prices this outcome at just 6% YES, a figure that mirrors the near-zero realistic chance of such a removal occurring before the settlement window closes. On-chain, the contract trades in USDC on the Polygon network, using conditional tokens to lock in payouts if the event resolves to “Yes”.

Historically, Chinese leaders have rarely been ousted abruptly; removals typically follow health crises or internal power shifts, as seen in the 1980s with Hua Guofeng or the 2010s with Bo Xilai. Xi’s grip has tightened since 2013, reinforced by constitutional changes in 2018 that removed presidential term limits, effectively allowing him to remain in power for life[4]. Recent military purges, including the January 2026 removal of General Zhang Youxia, further signal his consolidation of authority rather than vulnerability[5].

Traders should monitor Xi’s health reports, the August 2026 CCP Plenary Session, and any announcements regarding succession planning. While some reports speculate that Xi’s health is deteriorating and that he may step down during the Plenary Session or transition to a ceremonial role[2], these claims remain unverified. The 21st Party Congress in 2027 is more likely to focus on selecting successors than on Xi’s removal[3]. For now, the 6% probability accurately reflects the absence of actionable contrarian opportunity[1].

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
