SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This is the third public hearing the Commission will hold during
its 2025 reporting cycle. The hearing will first examine how Southeast
Asia and the Pacific Islands factor into Chinese strategic thinking and
China's diplomatic and soft power initiatives in both regions. Next,
the hearing will review China's role in Southeast Asian and Pacific
Islands security issues, including China's aggressive gray zone
activities in the South China Sea, Beijing's role in facilitating
transnational crime, and China's efforts to expand its security
cooperation with both regions. Finally, the hearing will explore
China's economic engagement with Southeast Asia and the Pacific
Islands, analyzing issues such as shifting supply chains, investment
and development finance under the Belt and Road Initiative, and
economic coercion.
The hearing will be co-chaired by Chair Reva Price and Vice Chair
Randall Schriver. Any interested party may file a written statement by
March 20, 2025 by transmitting to the contact above. A portion of the
hearing will include a question and answer period between the
Commissioners and the witnesses.
