3 prediction markets price this story:

• By 2030 — the market puts it at 19%, closing 1 Jan 2030. The market resolves to Yes if China's gross domestic product exceeds that of the United States by the year 2030. It resolves to No if China's GDP does not surpass the US total within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked news story about rare earth processing for the actual resolution criteria, but only GDP figures determine the outcome.
• Above -7.5% of GDP — the market puts it at 13%, closing 20 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if China’s general government net lending or borrowing balance for 2026 exceeds -7.5% of GDP. It resolves to No if that balance is -7.5% of GDP or lower. Readers often mistake the current exchange rate news for the actual fiscal data required for resolution.
• China — the market puts it at 36%, closing 1 Jan 2031. China must be the first nation to send humans to the Moon before January 1, 2031 for the outcome to be Yes. The deadline is strictly based on the launch date of the mission, not the landing or return. Readers often mistake this market as resolving based on lunar exploration milestones rather than the specific condition of being the first country to achieve a manned moon landing.
