SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: This is the fifth public hearing the Commission will
hold during its 2022 report cycle. This hearing will address China's
activities and influence in South Asia and Central Asia and the
implications for U.S. interests. The hearing will start by examining
China's economic goals and security concerns in Pakistan and
Afghanistan as well as shifts in China's policy toward the region since
the return of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Next, the hearing will
evaluate China's growing presence as an economic and security partner
in Central Asia and the implications for the China-Russia relationship.
The hearing will then explore China's growing influence in continental
South Asia, including how it shapes China-India competition and affects
states near the Sino-Indian border such as Nepal, Bhutan, and
Bangladesh. Finally, the hearing will examine China's strategic
interests and advances in the Indian Ocean, including its economic
engagement with Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
The hearing will be co-chaired by Commissioner Carolyn Bartholomew
and Commissioner Randall Schriver. Any interested party may file a
written statement by May 12, 2022 by transmitting to the contact above.
A portion of the hearing will include a question and answer period
between the Commissioners and the witnesses.
