(1/X) At 7:30pm ET, I will live-tweet the July 18th 2022 episode of @Jeopardy Very excited to be on the show, it’s been a lifelong dream. Let’s do it! #jeopardy
For Japan, the Quad matters as an organizing concept of its most important Indo-Pacific partners, but Japan's engagement with them lies outside the Quad framework.
Japan and India are cooperating through energy, technology, and economic investments.
Australia is deepening its security partnership with Tokyo, purchasing Mogami-class frigates from Japan.
The US-Japanese alliance remains Japan's core security and economic relationship—bolstered by the $550 billion strategic industrial fund, and the US-Japanese-Australian gallium project.
The Quad remains important for promoting the members' values of a free and open Indo-Pacific, but Japan prioritizes working directly with these key partners, @WillRevenge writes.

"The summit left Japanese officials with a sense of cautious relief. Rubio's firm words on Taiwan, the lack of concrete US-Chinese cooperative frameworks, and Takaichi's call with Trump after the summit helped to reassure Japan."
@WillRevenge's full comments in @WarOnTheRocks ⬇️
Secretary Rubio has made it clear that the United States is not changing its stance on Taiwan.
In order to prepare for a Taiwan contingency, the United States should build up American defensive strength and ensure that Taipei is preparing to defend itself, @WillRevenge explains.
China's methods of economic coercion have evolved. Beijing now uses a wedge strategy to isolate American allies like Japan.
The US should treat China's economic coercion like a supply and demand problem, @WillRevenge explains.
The Trump-Xi summit comes at a critical moment in global competition.
From trade and technology to military power, no domain remains uncontested.
Over the next three days, Hudson experts will unpack the key issues shaping the meeting and the future of US–China relations.
Wondering why more people don't refer to @KingJames and Bronny as "LesBrons."
First thing I do as Education Czar is to mandate more French instruction in schools. That and swapping out crinkle-cut fries for onion rings in school lunches.
In honor of my interview with @WarOnTheRocks on Japan's lifting of its lethal weapons export ban, a @HudsonInstitute colleague decided to have some fun with AI.
I would be honored to appear in a movie with PM @takaichi_sanae!
From @WillRevenge's conversation with Nicole Wiley on Japan's decision to lift its ban on lethal weapons exports:
"Japan's greatest strength is the fact that defense articles are of high quality and they deliver on time.
"Japan will be integrated very importantly into supply chains for unmanned systems, both within Japan and also abroad. This creates opportunities for greater cross-fertilization between Japan's defense sector and its commercial sector."

"Hudson Institute's Japan Chair challenges conventional international relations thinking by integrating a wide range of perspectives toward beyond-the-horizon policy issues."

The visit from @JPN_PMO@takaichi_sanae means other visitors coming along for the ride. And some of THOSE visitors bring gifts.
This gift--a box of cookies from PM Sanae-chan's native Nara--is the best one yet.
With @WillRevenge :
Iran draws attention—but the U.S.-Japan alliance has far more to do: industry, supply chains, AI, and missile defense.
