OPENING STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER PETER BROOKES
Good morning, and welcome to the third hearing of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s 2014 Annual Report cycle. This hearing will explore the evolving security dynamics in Asia and the effects of this changing environment on the United States. We will address how Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania are responding to China’s rise and consider what implications follow for U.S. alliances and partnerships in the region.
We’ll begin by taking a broad look at China’s grand strategy in the Asia-Pacific. We’ve asked our witnesses on the first panel to discuss the impact of China’s rise on the security dynamics in East Asia.
The second panel will focus on security dynamics in Northeast Asia and implications for the United States. After our lunch break, the third panel will conclude this hearing with a discussion on security dynamics in Southeast Asia and implications for the United States. Before we introduce our guests for the first panel, let me take a moment to thank the Senate Agriculture Committee, Chairperson Debbie Stabenow, and her staff for securing this room for us today. I’d also like to remind our witnesses to keep remarks to 7 minutes so that we have time for our question-and-answer session.
