In conversation with policy director Jonathan Corrado, Cristopher unpacks the findings from his rigorous open-source analysis of how America\u2019s key allies\u2014South Korea, Japan, and Australia\u2014would respond to US intervention or inaction in a Taiwan conflict. If Beijing attempts to forcibly annex Taiwan, Washington\u2019s decisions will have far-reaching consequences for its credibility in East Asia and beyond. Yet, the long-term implications of these choices on America\u2019s alliances and global standing remain largely unexamined\u2014until now. Based on over 100 interviews with leading experts from South Korea, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and the United States, this book provides unparalleled insight into how America\u2019s allies view the stakes in a Taiwan contingency. It captures, in their own words, their perspectives\u2014sometimes contradictory but consistently pragmatic\u2014as they grapple with their reliance on the United States as a distant security guarantor and their unease with an increasingly assertive China nearby.
