PREPARED STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER KATHERINE C. TOBIN
Good morning, everyone. On behalf of my fellow commissioners I would like to welcome you to the final hearing of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission’s 2014 Annual Report cycle. This hearing will examine recent economic, political, and security developments in cross-Strait and China-North Korea relations.
We’ll begin by taking a look at economic and political issues in cross-Strait relations. Among other topics, the first panel will discuss the opportunities and risks of closer cross-Strait economic integration for Taiwan and the United States.
The second panel will focus on cross-Strait military and security issues. It will examine Taiwan’s ability to defend against kinetic and nonkinetic military coercion by China as well as other topics regarding the Taiwan-China-United States security relationship.
After our lunch break, we’ll turn to China-North Korea relations. The third panel will conclude this hearing with a discussion of whether China’s views and policies toward North Korea have changed in recent years and the implications for U.S. security interests.
Before we introduce our guests for the first panel, the Commission would like to thank the Senate Budget Committee, Chairwoman Patty Murray, and the Committee staff for securing this room for us today.
