U.S. intelligence assessments released in March 2026 concluded China lacks plans for a Taiwan invasion by 2027, favoring unification through non-military coercion amid ongoing People's Liberation Army purges that have sidelined top generals like Zhang Youxia, signaling internal disruptions to operational readiness. These developments anchor trader consensus at 88.5% implied probability for "No" on a military clash before year-end, despite China's record December 2025 drills simulating a Taiwan blockade—which remained non-kinetic exercises rather than direct conflict. No major escalations have occurred in the past 30 days, with Beijing sustaining gray-zone pressure via aircraft incursions and naval patrols in the Taiwan Strait, though late-breaking diplomatic shifts or U.S. arms sales could still alter dynamics.

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.
