relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of 
China.'' Pursuant to this mandate, the Commission will hold a public

innovation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: This is the fourth public hearing the Commission will 
hold during its 2022 report cycle. The hearing will start by examining 
U.S. policies to address China's nonmarket economy practices, such as 
subsidies, excess capacity, and market access restrictions. The hearing 
will then explore U.S. approaches to defend against China's industrial 
policies related to innovation and technology as well as weak Chinese 
IP protection and theft. Next, the hearing will assess U.S. 
opportunities and challenges to regional economic and trade engagement 
in the Indo-Pacific, contrasted against China's strategy in the region. 
Finally, the hearing will evaluate the World Trade Organization's 
ability to address trade distortions resulting from China's policies 
and practices.
    The hearing will be co-chaired by Commissioner Robin Cleveland and 
Commissioner Michael Wessel. Any interested party may file a written 
statement by April 14, 2022 by transmitting to the contact above. A 
portion of the hearing will include a question and answer period 
between the Commissioners and the witnesses.
