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 March 1, 2024 on ``Consumer Products from 
China: Safety, Regulations, and Supply Chains.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: This is the second public hearing the Commission will 
hold during its 2024 reporting cycle. The hearing will initially 
address the safety and quality of consumer products imported from China 
and the extent to which U.S. consumers, firms, and regulators are able 
to detect and respond to risks presented by unsafe and poor-quality 
imports. Next, the hearing will examine how shifts in global trade 
patterns affect U.S. supply chain resiliency, focusing on Chinese firms 
moving manufacturing abroad as well as attempts by Chinese firms to 
circumvent U.S. tariffs via transshipment through intermediary 
countries. Finally, the hearing will assess the Chinese government's 
economic and policy support for its domestic manufacturing sector and 
consider the potential impact of these policies on China and the United 
States.
    The hearing will be co-chaired by Commissioner Robin Cleveland and 
Commissioner Kimberly T. Glas. Any interested party may file a written 
statement by March 1, 2024 by transmitting it to the contact above. A 
portion of the hearing 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 
Law 109-108 (November 22, 2005), as amended by Public Law 113-291 
(December 19, 2014).
