This episode featured a report, "Like-Minded Allies? Indo-Pacific Partners' Views on Possible Changes in the U.S.-Japan Relations," which was the result of a study conducted by the RAND in cooperation with the Japan-U.S. Program. In this episode, three experts from the RAND, the core authors of the report, gave a background and overview of the report, such as the reason why they focus on allies rather than US policy on Taiwan itself, the perceptions and reactions of each ally, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. Afterwards, two Japanese experts as commentators joined the discussion and they discussed various issues including the implications of the research in the view of China and Taiwan, and the influence of domestic politics in the U.S. and each ally.
