Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to the color of the suit/dress worn by KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun during her meeting with Xi Jinping. If a meeting occurs, the resolution will be based on photographic or video evidence published by reputable state-controlled media (such as Xinhua News Agency or CCTV) or major international news outlets (e.g., Reuters, Associated Press, AFP).
If multiple meetings occur during the visit, the suit/dress color during the first official bilateral meeting between Xi and Cheng will be used.
If no meeting between Xi Jinping and Cheng Li-wun takes place during her trip (April 7–12, 2026), the market will resolve to "No Meeting."
If the suit/dress is patterned or multi-colored, the dominant color will determine the resolution.
If a colour not listed is worn, if no dominant color can be reasonably determined, or if the tie color is ambiguous, the "Other Colour" option will be chosen.
Every effort will be made to shoehorn a colour into a listed category. Violet is purple, maroon is red etc.
I will not bet and will determine the colour worn.
Background
KMT Chairperson Cheng Li-wun is visiting mainland China from April 7 to April 12, 2026. While the trip includes stops in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Beijing, and a meeting with Xi Jinping is widely anticipated by analysts and media, it has not been officially confirmed at the time of the market's creation.
This visit marks the first time a sitting KMT chairperson has traveled to the mainland since 2016. The event is politically sensitive, as the KMT has been involved in a legislative stalemate regarding a major defense budget proposal in Taiwan, leading to criticism from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) regarding the timing and nature of the engagement. As this is a dependent multiple-choice market, it will resolve to "No Meeting" if the anticipated encounter does not occur.

I think that this resolution is somewhat controversial or borderline. I can't fully satisfy myself whether it's purple or blue.
I have chosen purple, because in the "political colours" context of this meeting, if she was intending to be seen to be wearing blue she would have been a lot bluer, whereas being vaguely purple is more in line with the messaging wearing purple would seen.
Additionally, when I first saw these images I was very confident that she was wearing purple, it's only the resolution pressure that has been me thinking thrice.
