Episode Notes:

Raymond Kuo and Catherine Kish wrote “Taiwan’s Will to Fight Isn’t the Problem." Kerry sits down with Raymond, director of RAND’s Taiwan Policy Initiative, and Catherine, a research assistant at RAND, to discuss their argument that the people of Taiwan have the will to fight but lack direction, leadership, and organization. They consider how political polarization in Taiwan undermines defense, the importance of civil defense and whole-of-society resilience, and how the United States can help — followed by a conversation about how personal experiences and identities have shaped the authors' career paths.
