Turns on whether an attack lacking explicit intent to establish political control still qualifies as a 'military offensive intended to establish control'.

Resolution rules (verbatim)
This market will resolve to "Yes" if China commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of the Republic of China (Taiwan) by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Territory under the administration of the Republic of China, including any inhabited islands, will qualify; however, uninhabited islands will not qualify.
The resolution source for this market will be official confirmation by China, Taiwan, the United Nations, or any permanent member of the UN Security Council; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
The word 'intended' introduces judgment about unstated motives. A military strike could be interpreted as defensive or demonstrative rather than conquest-oriented; resolution source (consensus of credible reporting) may disagree on intent.
