Hu Jintao, the 83-year-old former CCP general secretary, has recorded no confirmed public appearances since December 2022, when he attended Jiang Zemin’s funeral. Recent mid-August 2026 reporting described a sharp deterioration in his health, coinciding with his absence from the Jiang Zemin centenary commemoration and from Zhu Rongji’s funeral proceedings, where he sent only a wreath. Sustained state-media silence and a pattern of non-attendance at major events, including the 2025 military parade, underpin the 97.4 percent implied probability traders assign to no appearance by December 31. While advanced age and documented frailty create steep structural barriers, a late-year, tightly controlled ceremonial appearance for symbolic political purposes remains a low-probability but theoretically possible development that could still shift the market.
