**Traders assign a 92.5% implied probability to no military clash between China and Taiwan before 2027 primarily because Beijing has maintained steady gray-zone pressure through coast guard patrols, aerial and maritime incursions, and live-fire drills without crossing into kinetic conflict.** In 2026, PLA aircraft sorties around Taiwan have stabilized at lower levels than late 2025, while China Coast Guard activity has expanded east of the island and near outlying areas such as Kinmen to normalize presence rather than prepare for immediate operations. Recent U.S.-China summits and diplomatic engagement have coincided with temporary reductions in daily sorties, and Taiwan has responded by advancing record defense budgets exceeding NT$1 trillion, commissioning littoral commands, and conducting realistic Han Kuang and civil-defense exercises focused on resilience. With Taiwan’s November local elections approaching and no verified large-scale amphibious buildup, the short remaining window favors continued coercion and political influence over escalation.

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.
