Source map I would use for the timing buckets here:

• For current warning context, Taiwan MND's 2026-06-13 PLA activity release reported 6 PLA aircraft sorties, 8 PLAN ships, and 2 official ships around Taiwan in the prior 24-hour window, with 4 aircraft entering the southwestern ADIZ. That is useful background, but it is gray-zone activity rather than invasion evidence by itself.

• For capability context, DoD's 2025 China Military Power report discusses PLA Taiwan-contingency pressure, blockade, strike, and invasion-relevant capabilities, and frames the First Island Chain as central to PRC regional military goals.

• For U.S. response context, 22 U.S.C. 3301 says non-peaceful efforts over Taiwan are of grave concern and that U.S. policy includes defensive arms plus maintaining capacity to resist force or coercion. It is not an automatic troop-commitment trigger.

• For regional access context, USINDOPACOM's EDCA notice lists four added Philippines sites on top of five existing sites. I would treat that as logistics/access context, not direct evidence for a particular timing bucket.

@Daniel_MC seems ok to resolve?

@GazDownright Totally!

@IdkIdc some please arb away this vandalism!

@Daniel_MC Took Ṁ222 worth of arbing and is still mispriced, but at least not impossible anymore.

@4fa nice!

I think a 25% chance for 2028 is still really high, so I've made a single answer market to make it more obvious, we'll see if it lands in the same place.

@Daniel_MC yesssssss more arbs yessssss

fixing some of your lines to be obviously closer to accurate

36% for 2028 is so high!

Just sense checking this market, would people really stand by a 15% chance of China invading this year and a 36% chance of an invasion during the Trump presidency?

@Daniel_MC I think this multi option markets tend to drift a bit away from the many arbitraged Y/N options

@Daniel_MC yeh it doesn’t make sense to me. I figured I’d make a neat profit from betting no on everything

You all should read more Noahpinion. War is coming. https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/happy-fun-cold-war-2-update

@jonsimon I wonder if a blockade would play out similar to the Berlin blockage.

To clarify a blockade alone wouldn't cause this to resolve yes.

@Daniel_MC Would a several year blockade starving-out Taiwan followed by acquiesce followed by China "voluntarily" occupying Taiwan count?

@jonsimon that's gray.

At first glance I would say yes, a blockade is an act of war under international law, Taiwan surrenders, and troops occupy their territory.

Does anyone disagree @traders ? If not I'll update the criteria.

why no taiwan invade china

@astyerche We need a question on which first, AGI or China invade Taiwan. Will the help of a BASED pro-US AGI, maybe Taiwan can invade China.
