China’s ongoing military activities around Taiwan, including large-scale blockade simulations such as Justice Mission 2025 in December 2025 and periodic joint combat patrols into 2026, have normalized high levels of grey-zone pressure through aircraft incursions, naval deployments, and coast guard actions near Kinmen. These steps fall short of the direct kinetic engagement—such as missile strikes or exchanges of fire—required to resolve the market to “Yes.” U.S. intelligence assessments note Beijing’s preference for unification without force due to the high risks of amphibious operations and potential U.S. intervention, while Taiwan has raised defense spending and extended conscription. Seasonal declines in air activity during early 2026 and the absence of escalation triggers have reinforced trader consensus that a qualifying clash remains unlikely before the end of 2026.

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.
