Description

This event group tracks the likelihood of military clashes between China and Taiwan, and between China and the Philippines, occurring before the end of 2026. Each market defines a 'military encounter' as any incident involving the use of force such as missile strikes, artillery fire, exchange of gunfire, or direct military engagement.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both markets share identical resolution logic regarding the definition of a military encounter and the resolution timeframe.Primary resolution logic: Consensus of credible reporting

Core resolution logic:

  • A military encounter must involve the use of force such as missile strikes, artillery fire, exchange of gunfire, or direct military engagement
  • Non-violent actions, such as warning shots or minor damages, do not qualify
  • Resolution occurs based on consensus of credible reporting

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Intentional ship ramming: Counts toward resolution only if it results in significant damage or sinking of a military ship
  • Coast Guard involvement: China Coast Guard actions count, but Taiwan's and Philippines' Coast Guard actions do not
Timing: Resolution occurs after December 31, 2026Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market. Users are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable rules and resolution criteria before placing any trade or bet. If you notice a potential inconsistency, discrepancy, or error in an alert, please report it to our team so we can review and improve the accuracy of our data.

Polymarket

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. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.

Frequently asked questions

This market resolves around Jan 1, 2027, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. A confirmed military clash between China and Taiwan before that date triggers one result, while no such incident by the deadline leads to the alternative.

Key signals that could shift odds on this market include major political statements from leaders, significant military exercises near Taiwan, changes in defense agreements, or unexpected regional crises. Each development is assessed for its implied risk of escalation, often causing rapid price adjustments as traders reassess the probability of an actual conflict occurring before the market closes.
