SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: This is the second public
hearing the Commission will hold
during its 2020 report cycle. This
hearing will examine China’s ability to
project military power and influence
beyond its shores, with an emphasis on
the country’s development of
expeditionary capabilities. Officials
from the Departments of State and
Defense will provide testimony on how
the Administration views China’s power
projection and how such capabilities
further China’s plans to reorder the
Indo-Pacific and other key regions to its
advantage. The first panel of experts
will explore why and how China is
developing expeditionary capabilities,
with a focus on the Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) as a vehicle for testing
and justifying these capabilities. The
second panel will focus on the ‘‘nuts
and bolts’’ of China’s expeditionary
capabilities, including the PLA’s efforts
to improve its logistics organization and
expand its access to overseas bases. The
third panel will examine how China’s
activities in South and Southeast Asia,
Africa, and Latin America and the
Caribbean further its development of
expeditionary capabilities. The hearing
will be co-chaired by Commissioner
Jeffrey Fiedler and Commissioner Larry
Wortzel. Any interested party may file
