Congratulations to history alum, Will Chou, PhD, who will be joining the Hudson Institute as the Japan Chair Fellow later this summer. His work will be focusing on initiatives that support US, Japanese, and partner efforts to build a free, open, and prosperous Indo-Pacific during this pivotal time.

Recently, National Defense interviewed Will for their report on Australia's new Defence Strategic Review, "ANALYSIS: Australia's New Strategic Review Has Big Implications." He observed that the document reflects the US, Japan, and their partners' commitment to shared strategic concepts, interoperability, and industrial resilience, and would create decisions for the Chinese leadership.
