Taiwan’s record defense budget proposal and ongoing Han Kuang exercises, which test rapid mobilization, supply-line protection, and command resilience against simulated Chinese landings, reflect sustained preparations amid routine PLA aircraft sorties, naval transits, and coast-guard patrols that have not escalated into invasion-level mobilization. These patterns of gray-zone pressure continue without the visible troop concentrations, amphibious buildups, or diplomatic ruptures that historically precede large-scale cross-strait operations, supporting trader consensus on the low near-term probability. The narrow window to September 30 further limits scope for undetected preparation. Only an abrupt miscalculation or unforeseen trigger could still shift conditions before resolution.
