"There is a 10% chance that China will attack or blockade Taiwan during 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community."

"Some observers assess that the PLA is, or soon will be, able to execute a range of military campaigns against Taiwan, including missile strikes, seizures of Taiwan's small outlying islands, blockades, and an amphibious landing and takeover of Taiwan's main island (the riskiest and most challenging campaign)."
