This market will resolve to "Yes" if China commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of the Republic of China (Taiwan) by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Territory under the administration of the Republic of China, including any inhabited islands, will qualify; however, uninhabited islands will not qualify. The resolution source for this market will be official confirmation by China, Taiwan, the United Nations, or any permanent member of the UN Security Council; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Trader consensus prices a Chinese invasion of Taiwan by June 30, 2026, at just 3% likelihood, reflecting U.S. intelligence assessments from mid-March 2026 that Beijing lacks firm plans for a 2027 assault and prioritizes unification short of force. Recent PLA activities remain confined to gray-zone patrols, routine Taiwan Strait exercises, and AI-enabled swarm technology development, with no observable amphibious mobilizations or blockades as of the April 3 Institute for the Study of War update. Taiwan's bolstering of Pratas Islands defenses, extended annual war games simulating PLA pivots, and U.S. submarine deterrence underpin high confidence in "No," though abrupt escalations like unrestrained drills or diplomatic breakdowns could alter outcomes in the brief remaining window.
