I am very happy to share my newest solo-authored peer-reviewed article: “Can Taiwan survive partisanship? Evidence from two survey experiments” available to read for free in jjps_eds: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Sharing this piece by Phil Gordon. He argues Taiwan doesn't have alternative to US support, but it does have cards to play: - Increase defense spending and investments in US; - Act as partner in preserving stability in face of Beijing's assertiveness. foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/21/tru…

Popular youth-led resistance to collusive elite rule is being rejuvenated through mass protest in Indonesia and being strangled through judicial and military repression in Thailand. Curious then that the dominant narrative is that Indonesia, and not Thailand, is in “crisis.”

I don’t think people in the US understand the level of impact this raid/set of arrests is having in South Korea:
