This market will resolve to "Yes" if China (People's Republic of China) announces it has established or otherwise de facto establishes an arial or naval blockade for the territory of Taiwan (Republic of China) by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying blockade is: - Prevents the normal ingress or egress of foreign commercial traffic to or from Taiwan Island’s main ports or airports by threat or use of force for ≥ 24 hours. - Covers part or whole of the main island of Taiwan (Formosa). - Is declared and enforced, de facto (e.g., it is established that China is blocking a significant portion of foreign commercial traffic, as described above, by a wide consensus of credible reporting regardless of whether China has issued a statement or not), or China-issued navigation/airspace prohibitions covering Taiwan's main island's approach lanes that are actively enforced so that most foreign commercial access is denied. A qualifying blockade is not: - Military or naval exercises or drills (established with warning areas or NOTAMs that do not actively stop third-country ships/aircraft and do not materially deny access). - Purely economic or coercive measures (e.g., sanctions, customs delays, fishing bans, cyber/GPS jamming) without physical interdiction or enforced closure). - Weather/accident-related closures or voluntary rerouting by operators absent PRC enforcement. - Islet-only incidents that do not involve the main island of Taiwan. - Seizure or inspection of a single vessel/aircraft by itself, unless part of an enforced pattern that denies access as defined above. The resolution source for this market will be a broad consensus of credible reporting.

"context_description": "Trader consensus prices a Chinese blockade of Taiwan by June 30 at just 4.8%, reflecting high confidence in continued restraint amid de-escalatory signals. A mid-March U.S. intelligence assessment concluded Beijing lacks near-term plans for blockade or invasion, corroborated by reduced People's Liberation Army aircraft incursions into Taiwan's air defense identification zone—averaging below 200 monthly since January—following December 2025 drills simulating encirclement. Taiwan's opposition Kuomintang chairwoman's planned visit to China starting April 7 underscores diplomatic channels over coercion, while Beijing emphasizes reunification rhetoric without kinetic escalation. Taiwan bolsters maritime defenses and extends conscription amid budget hurdles. Realistic shifts could stem from a Taiwanese independence declaration, U.S. military distractions elsewhere, or abrupt PLA surges in the Taiwan Strait, though massive economic fallout and allied deterrence loom large.",
