Aldeguer-Roque described the Philippines as a maritime, demographic and digital bridge for the decade ahead. She also said the country could complement the Greater Bay Area\u2019s research and development capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Data: $1.30M Volume, 14.5% \u201cYes\u201d vs 85.5% \u201cNo\u201d on China Invading Taiwan by Dec. 31, 2027<\/h2>\n<p>The Polymarket contract \u201cWill China invade Taiwan by December 31, 2027?\u201d was trading at 14.5% Yes versus 85.5% No at the timestamp provided, down 1.0 percentage point from 15.5% previously.
