SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: This is the third public hearing the Commission will 
hold during its 2020 report cycle. This hearing will assess the 
intentions behind China's efforts to revise international governance 
institutions, norms and values, and technical standards-setting bodies. 
It will examine China's vision for a revised global order, its actions 
in existing and newly-established international organizations to 
achieve its goals, and its attempts to promote new norms for the global 
digital economy. In so doing, the hearing will attempt to identify 
whether a distinguishable China model exists; if so, to what extent 
China is seeking to export it to other countries, and for what purpose; 
and the consequences of China's growing influence in global governance 
and standards-setting bodies for U.S. interests. The hearing will be 
co-chaired by Senator Carte Goodwin and Senator Jim Talent. Any 
interested party may file a written statement by March 13, 2020 by 
mailing to the contact above. A portion of each panel will include a 
question and answer period between the Commissioners and the witnesses.
    Authority: Congress created the U.S.-China Economic and Security 
Review Commission in 2000 in the National Defense Authorization Act 
Pub. L. 106-398), as amended by Division P of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Resolution, 2003 (Pub. L. 108-7), as amended by Public

(December 19, 2014).

    Dated: February 24, 2020.
