Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Ma Ying-jeou, former President of Taiwan, and Xi Jinping, President of China, hold a publicly reported meeting between June 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025. The meeting must be confirmed by reputable news sources such as The Diplomat, CNN, or AP News. If no such meeting occurs within this timeframe, the market will resolve to "No."
Background
Ma Ying-jeou served as Taiwan's President from 2008 to 2016, during which he promoted closer cross-strait relations with China. He previously met with Xi Jinping in November 2015 in Singapore, marking the first meeting between leaders of Taiwan and China since 1949. In April 2024, Ma visited China and met with Xi in Beijing, emphasizing shared cultural ties and the importance of peaceful relations. (thediplomat.com)
Considerations
As of June 12, 2025, there are no publicly announced plans for a meeting between Ma Ying-jeou and Xi Jinping in June 2025. Given the sensitive nature of cross-strait relations and the political implications of such meetings, any potential meeting would likely be widely reported by international media. Traders should monitor reputable news outlets for any developments regarding a possible meeting within the specified timeframe.
