What's driving it

- • New South China Sea clash videos from October 13, 2025, captured Chinese water cannon and ramming tactics (Business Insider, Oct 13, 2025).
- • Clashes surged in late 2025, with the Philippines tapping Korean weapons to bolster deterrence (Korea JoongAng Daily, Jan 15, 2026).
- • The U.S. backed the Philippines after China warned over a vessel clash on October 13, 2025 (NBC News, Oct 13, 2025).
The case for YES
- • Multiple documented skirmishes between Chinese and Philippine vessels, including use of water cannons and ramming, have already occurred, fulfilling the condition of a military clash.
- • Injuries to Filipino fishermen and damage to their boat in a December 2025 incident (Al Jazeera, Dec 14, 2025) meet the threshold for a clash.
- • The surge in clashes prompted the Philippines to acquire Korean weapons for deterrence (Korea JoongAng Daily, Jan 15, 2026), confirming the reality of ongoing conflict.
The case for NO
- • No case for NO exists because the market has already resolved to 100% based on confirmed events.
- • The definition of 'military clash' could be disputed if only coastguard vessels (not formal military) were involved, but headlines describe ramming and water cannon attacks as clashes.
- • The market's 100% odds reflect that the event has already occurred, leaving no room for a NO outcome.
What to watch
- • No future catalysts are relevant because the market has already resolved.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
