Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to Yes if, on or before December 31, 2027, the People’s Republic of China launches a full-scale military offensive intended to seize control of territory governed by Taiwan (the Republic of China).
In other words, a Chinese attack aiming to invade and occupy Taiwan’s main island or any of its inhabited outlying islands (e.g. Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu) by the end of 2027 will satisfy a “Yes” resolution. Uninhabited islets or purely symbolic incidents (without major combat) would not count. The invasion attempt must be evidenced by official confirmations (from China, Taiwan, the U.N., or a major power) or a broad consensus of credible reporting that an outright military invasion of Taiwan has begun.
Incidents short of an actual invasion do not count. Mere naval blockades, limited missile strikes, or isolated clashes that do not amount to a full-fledged attempt to conquer Taiwanese territory will resolve this market to “No.” In essence, Yes requires a war scenario in which China’s forces explicitly move to take Taiwanese land by force.
If no such invasion is underway by the end of 2027, the market resolves to No.

Even if China ultimately escalates to a full-blown invasion, it won't be until a couple of years at least. End of 2027 seems like a rather short timeline.
