3 prediction markets price this story:
- Will China invade Taiwan by June 30, 2027? — the market puts it at 3%, with $39k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jul 2027. The market resolves to Yes if China starts a military offensive to control any inhabited part of Taiwan by June 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if this does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the day rather than the specific time, or assume uninhabited islands count toward the resolution.
- Will the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) win the most head of local government elections in the 2026 Taiwan local elections? — the market puts it at 40%, with $18k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 29 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the Democratic Progressive Party wins more head-of-local-government races than any other party in Taiwan's major cities and counties. It resolves to No if another party wins the most seats or if a tie occurs where the DPP is not first alphabetically. Readers often mistake the deadline, but the market stays open until results are official, even if that extends past June 30, 2027.
- Before Jan 20, 2029 — the market puts it at 16%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the United States formally recognizes the Republic of China as a sovereign state independent from any previously recognized country before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the delivery of fighter jets for formal diplomatic recognition.
