Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects near-certainty that China will not launch a full-scale invasion of Taiwan by June 30, 2026, driven by a U.S. intelligence assessment on March 18 stating Chinese leaders lack plans for such action even in 2027 and prefer non-military unification paths amid high economic and military costs. Recent PLA activities remain routine gray-zone coercion, including a surge of 25 aircraft detected near Taiwan on April 2 and resumed flights after a mid-March lull, with no observable amphibious buildup, blockades, or mobilization signaling imminent attack. Taiwan's extended Han Kuang wargames underscore defensive preparations, while deterrence from U.S. alliances and logistical barriers across the Taiwan Strait sustain low risk through the resolution window. Scenarios like a sudden crisis, Taiwan independence moves, or major U.S. distraction could shift odds, though none appear evident.
