Mike Mochizuki, Professor and Director of the Sigur Center for Asian Studies at George Washington University and a leading specialist on Japanese security issues, and Thomas J. Christensen, Professor of Political Science at MIT and a leading expert on the Taiwan-PRC security relationship, analyzed the implications of U.S. ties with Japan and Taiwan, respectively, for Sino-U.S. relations.
