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 December 31, 2027, 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.US intelligence assessments, particularly the March 2026 ODNI Annual Threat Assessment, state that Chinese leaders lack both a fixed unification timeline and current plans for a Taiwan invasion in 2027, favoring sustained coercive measures such as air and naval incursions, military exercises, economic pressure, and diplomatic isolation instead. These findings align with observed patterns through mid-2026, including resumed but non-escalatory PLA flights near Taiwan, KMT-Xi engagement, and US arms sales alongside trade negotiations under the Trump administration. Traders price the 84.5% implied probability for no invasion by December 31, 2027, around this combination of gray-zone activity without mobilization signals or fixed timelines, plus reinforced deterrence via US-Indo-Pacific partnerships and Taiwan's defense spending. Late developments within the window, such as major exercises or shifts in US policy, remain the primary variables that could alter consensus.
