U.S.-CHINA ECONOMIC AND SECURITY REVIEW COMMISSION


Notice of Open Public Hearing

AGENCY: U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.

ACTION: Notice of open public hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the following hearing of the U.S.-
China Economic and Security Review Commission on February 7, 2013 in 
Washington, DC.
    Name: William A. Reinsch, Chairman of the U.S.-China Economic and 
Security Review Commission. The Commission is mandated by Congress to 
investigate, assess, and report to Congress annually on ``the national 
security implications of the economic relationship between the United 
States and the People's Republic of China.'' Pursuant to this mandate, 
the Commission will hold a public hearing in Washington, DC on February 
7, 2013, ``China's New Leadership and Implications for the United 
States.''
    Background: This is the first public hearing the Commission will 
hold during its 2013 report cycle to collect input from academic, 
industry, and government experts on national security implications of 
the U.S. bilateral trade and economic relationship with China. In 2012, 
the Chinese Communist Party's 18th Party Congress ushered in a new 
generation of political leaders, raising questions over what China's 
priorities will be over the next decade. This hearing will examine the 
impacts of China's recent leadership transition through the lenses of 
China's domestic politics, its economy, and its military. Additionally, 
the hearing will include a discussion on the United States' evolving 
policy towards Asia. The hearing will be co-chaired by Chairman
