Trends for U.S. Security Interests
A day following the release
of its 2004 Report to Congress, the U.S.-China Economic
and Security Review Commission (Commission) will present
its key findings and recommendations in testimony before
the House of Representatives' Armed Services Committee.
The bipartisan Commission was established by Congress in
2000 to investigate, analyze and provide recommendations
on the economic and national security implications of the
U.S.-China relationship.
The testimony will highlight
the Commission's concerns about the direction of U.S.-China
relations, particularly in the following areas:
·
China's military modernization programs and the affect on
the cross-Strait military balance;
· China's growth as a platform for manufacturing and technology
development and production;
· China's enhanced diplomacy and economic/political clout
in Asia;
· Heightening tensions and political turmoil in cross-Strait
relations and between China and Hong Kong;
· China's WMD and missile proliferation practices; and ·
China's role in the North Korean nuclear crisis.
