Traders assign a 94.7% probability that no military clash occurs before 2027 because Beijing has sustained gray-zone pressure through record Chinese coast guard and government vessel sightings around Taiwan in July and August 2026 while sharply reducing aerial incursions into Taiwan’s ADIZ compared with 2024–2025 peaks. Taiwan has responded with Han Kuang exercises incorporating Ukraine-derived tactics, drone integration, and a record defense budget proposal, alongside ongoing U.S. arms discussions ahead of the scheduled Trump-Xi summit. These patterns reflect calibrated coercion and jurisdictional assertions east of Taiwan rather than preparations for imminent kinetic conflict, with diplomatic engagement and mutual deterrence costs continuing to shape the near-term outlook.

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.
