U.S.-China Commission To Testify Before House Armed Services Committee Will Discuss Annual Report Issued this Week Citing Troubling 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.
Who: Roger W. Robinson, Jr., Chairman Carolyn Bartholomew, Commissioner
When: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 2:00 p.m.
Where: 2118 Rayburn House Office Building Independence Ave. and South Capitol Street, NW Washington, DC
