It’s hard to think of a more consequential topic than Taiwan. And, it’s hard to think of three countries more invested in preserving regional stability than 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇦🇺.
The @CSIS @AustraliaChair & @JapanChair have a new report to address this topic 👇

Sharing my new piece, with Victor Cha, on the extraordinary Japan-ROK agreement over the weekend to normalize bilateral defense ties. Largely overlooked in the media.

My latest, with Jim Schoff: Tokyo has embarked on an ambitious defense strategy, and it’s time for the next step in U.S.-Japan alliance transformation: modernizing its command and control architecture. We offer a concrete blueprint for doing so.

Check out the first installment of CSIS' 2024 Global Forecast. Lots of great essays. @CharlesEdel and I argue that the role of allies is critical to sustaining deterrence in a year of potential American distraction.

This year is the 30th anniversary of the US-Jpn Security Seminar, hosted annually by CSIS. The alliance has come a long way--from a period of uncertainty and drift, Jpn today is easily the most impt partner for the US in the region. Check out our event:

Privilege to collaborate with Jude Blanchette and @gdp1985 on this piece. The economic and financial impacts of a cross-strait crisis, some of which would unfold before hostilities, are not well understood. This piece sets out some broad conclusions.
