U.S. intelligence's March 2026 annual threat assessment concluded China lacks plans for a Taiwan invasion by 2027, preferring unification through non-military means amid ongoing gray-zone coercion like air incursions into Taiwan's air defense identification zone. Trader consensus at 87.5% for "No" reflects this, reinforced by a sharp drop in People's Liberation Army flights around Taiwan in late February—unprecedented for over a week—followed by moderated resumption since mid-March, coinciding with U.S. arms sales approvals and President Trump's recent Beijing visit. Taiwan's defense budget debates and routine drills underscore deterrence without escalation signals, though Beijing vows to counter independence moves.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a military encounter between the military forces of China (People's Republic of China) and Taiwan (Republic of China) between November 11, 2025, and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A "military encounter" is defined as any incident involving the use of force such as missile strikes, artillery fire, exchange of gunfire, or other forms of direct military engagement between Chinese and Taiwanese military forces. Non-violent actions, such as warning shots, artillery fire into uninhabited areas, or missile launches that land in territorial waters or pass through airspace, will not qualify for a "Yes" resolution. Intentional ship ramming that results in significant damage to (e.g., a hole in the hull) or the sinking of a military ship by another will count toward a "Yes" resolution, however minor damage (scrapes, dents) will not.
Note: the China Coast Guard (CCG) is part of the military, however Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration (CGA) is not.
