Resolves NA if China does not attempt to invade Taiwan (before 2040)

Resolves NO if China does attempt to invade Taiwan and India is not involved militarily

Resolves YES if China does attempt to invade Taiwan and India is involved militarily

Involved militarily: clear reports that Indian forces attacked Chinese forces or vice versa

Chinese invasion: I think this is going to be obvious; there should be widespread consensus. An invasion does not need to actually take place*, so long as there is substantial evidence that a credible force to invade Taiwan's main island was being massed on the Chinese coast.

Generally speaking, while you can imagine various scenarios with limited military conflict between Taiwan and China that are not an invasion it's hard to imagine India being involved in anything short of that. However, I reserve the right to make judgements on whether a scenario constitutes an invasion or not. For this reason I will not bet in this market. If I am no longer active then market participants may appoint a neutral arbitrator if there is disagreement.

*we could imagine that US, Indian or Taiwanese actions might prevent it from actually happening

Does a Sino-Indian border flare up count? Or does India have to get involved explicitly in the SCS theatre?

Doesn't have to be SCS

To clarify: if China invades Taiwan, and India gets involved years into the ensuing war, does this still resolve YES?

@gregrosent yes, market will not resolve NO until hostilities have ceased.
