## Resource

From May 15, 2025: For today's episode,  Lawfare  Foreign Policy Editor Daniel Byman talked with Evan Braden Montgomery and Toshi Yoshihara, both Senior Fellows at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, to discuss their recent  Lawfare  article, " Beijing's Changing Invasion Calculus: How China Might Put Taiwan in its Crosshairs ."  Together they discuss how China might use a blockade, subversion, and nuclear threats to intimidate Taiwan, the United States, and key regional states like Japan. They also discuss how Taipei and Washington might change their approach to reduce the risk of Taiwanese coercion.
