The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission completed its first fact-finding mission to China since 2019. The group visited Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. It announced plans to return annually.
The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, an independent advisory body established in 2000, provides annual reports and recommendations to lawmakers on trade and national security-related policies.
The delegation met with US diplomats, Chinese government officials, Chinese think tanks, and representatives of both US and Chinese businesses. The commission said the delegation held frank discussions with its interlocutors on a range of subjects.
Vice Chair Mike Kuiken said in a statement: “We are committed to seeking to return at least annually to further expand areas of engagement. [So] our analysis keeps pace with a relationship that does not stand still.”
