This issue of Asia Policy features two roundtables on cross–Taiwan strait complexities: one on strategies Asia’s middle powers may adopt in response to growing tensions across the strait, and one on the drivers of Taiwan’s own shifting political and social identities. The issue contains a special essay on the role that immigration plays in providing the United States a unique STEM talent advantage in tech competition with China. It includes articles on security cooperation between the United States, Japan, and Australia through the Trilateral Strategic Dialogue and on the evolving dynamics of China–North Korea bilateral arms trade. The issue concludes with a roundtable on Diego Fossati’s book Unity through Division: Political Islam, Representation and Democracy in Indonesia that discusses the reasons behind Indonesians’ increased satisfaction with their political system despite democratic backsliding.
