    Background: This is the sixth public hearing the Commission will 
hold during its 2024 reporting cycle. The hearing will evaluate the 
Chinese Party-state's efforts to prepare society for a period of 
enhanced competition, crisis, or conflict. First, the hearing will 
examine Chinese leaders' rhetoric and efforts to instill a siege 
mentality in the Chinese public. Next, the hearing will examine China's 
efforts to materially and financially prepare its economy for a crisis 
or conflict scenario through efforts to boost domestic production 
capacity, sanction-proof its economy, and attain self-sufficiency in 
key sectors. Finally, the hearing will assess the China's national 
defense mobilization system and ability to leverage civilian resources 
during a crisis.
    The hearing will be co-chaired by Commissioners Carte P. Goodwin 
and Cliff Sims. Any interested party may file a written statement by

hearing will include a question and answer period between the 
Commissioners and the witnesses.
