<h3>What qualifies as a military confrontation for inclusion?</h3><p>The dataset includes confirmed incidents of direct military engagement, naval standoffs, aerial intercepts, and territorial escalations involving China, Taiwan, Russia, or a NATO member state, as reported by official government sources or major international news outlets.</p><h3>Are diplomatic disputes without physical confrontation included?</h3><p>No. The dataset focuses on physical military incidents — actual or near-miss engagements. Diplomatic protests, sanctions, or military exercises without a confrontational incident are excluded.</p><h3>How is "confirmed" defined given information asymmetry in conflict zones?</h3><p>An event is included when at least one of the parties involved or a credible international body (e.g. NATO, UN) has acknowledged the incident. Unverified reports from single anonymous sources are excluded.</p><h3>How often is this dataset updated?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month.
