Traders assign a 96.4% probability that China will not invade Taiwan by the end of 2026, reflecting assessments that Beijing continues to prioritize unification through economic, diplomatic, and gray-zone pressure rather than kinetic action. U.S. intelligence assessments from early 2026 found no current Chinese plan or fixed timeline for invasion, consistent with reduced air incursions into Taiwan’s ADIZ and routine live-fire drills in the strait during July that followed standard responses to Taiwanese statements. Taiwan’s ongoing Han Kuang exercises, civil-defense preparations, and opposition-party outreach to Beijing further signal a stable cross-strait environment. Scenarios that could still shift odds include an unexpected major provocation, abrupt U.S. policy reversal, or sudden deterioration in Chinese domestic conditions that alters leadership risk calculations before year-end.
