Tian–Jun Li's symplectic cone conjecture for minimal Kähler surfaces

Let MM underlie a minimal Kähler surface with b+>1b^+>1. Write KK for the canonical class, and let CM\mathcal C_M be the symplectic cone. For a cohomology class KK, let PMK\mathcal P_M^K denote the cone of classes in PM\mathcal P_M that evaluate positively on KK.

Tian–Jun Li's symplectic cone conjecture.

PMKPMKCM.\mathcal P_M^K\cup\mathcal P_M^{-K}\subset\mathcal C_M.

Together with the known inclusion CMPMKPMK\mathcal C_M\subset\mathcal P_M^K\cup\mathcal P_M^{-K}, this would determine the symplectic cone for these surfaces. The source presents this as Question 4.9 and gives no resolution.
