If Vladimir Putin visits China by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purpose of this market, a "visit" is defined as Putin physically entering the terrestrial or maritime territory of China. Whether or not Putin enters Chinese airspace during the timeframe of this market will have no bearing on this market's resolution. The primary resolution source for this information will be official information from Vladimir Putin, the Federal Government of Russia, and the Chinese government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed on May 14 that Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit China very soon, with preparations complete and dates to be announced jointly with Beijing, driving trader consensus to near-certainty on a trip by May 31. Reports from South China Morning Post and Bloomberg indicate a one-day Beijing visit on May 20, shortly after U.S. President Trump's summit with Xi Jinping, underscoring deepening Russia-China bilateral diplomacy amid global tensions. This aligns with prior April signals of high-level contacts as strategic partners. While odds exceed 90%, late-breaking scenarios like health issues, Ukraine escalations, or abrupt scheduling shifts could still prevent it, though such risks appear minimal given finalized logistics.
