Benjamin Yang

Founder & Director of Research and Editorial

Benjamin Yang studies International Affairs at George Washington University's Elliott School, with a focus on Indo-Pacific security, U.S.–China relations, and regional strategic affairs. He founded Indo-Pacific Record to make official defense and security publications more accessible and to examine what those sources reveal—and leave unresolved—about regional developments. As Director of Research and Editorial, he guides the publication's research direction and editorial standards, emphasizing primary-source evidence, transparent documentation, and careful distinctions between official claims and independent analysis.
