Will China announce a U.S. oil purchase by May 22?

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Xi Jinping, the Chinese government, or any authorized representative of the Chinese government announces the purchase of U.S. oil by the Chinese state or any Chinese company between market creation and May 22, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying announcement must indicate that the Chinese government or a Chinese company will purchase, or has definitively agreed to purchase, U.S. oil. Only definitive announcements will qualify. Suggestions, negotiations, expressions of openness, or other non-definitive statements will not qualify. Any qualifying purchase announced within this market’s time frame will count, regardless of whether or when the purchase is actually completed or the oil is delivered. This market’s primary resolution source will be official information from the Chinese government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
