Ongoing grey-zone confrontations at features such as Scarborough Shoal and Second Thomas Shoal have remained limited to ramming, water-cannon use, and vessel blockades rather than direct military engagement. Strengthened Philippine-U.S. defense cooperation, including expanded Balikatan exercises with Japan and Australia in April-May 2026, has reinforced deterrence through alliance commitments. Manila's recent completion of runway and port upgrades on Thitu Island and new naming of disputed features have prompted Chinese naval deployments and patrols, yet both capitals continue bilateral talks aimed at managing incidents and exploring resource cooperation. This pattern of calibrated responses, backed by mutual defense treaty obligations, underpins trader expectations that escalation to open clash will be avoided through 2026.

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 Philippine 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 Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is not.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
