The market resolves to Yes if Chinese and Indian military forces engage in direct combat, such as gunfire or missile strikes, between January 29, 2025, and December 31, 2026. Incidents involving only the Indian Coast Guard do not count because it is not part of the military. Readers often mistake warning shots or non-violent naval maneuvers for valid military encounters.
