Front cover lower right corner curved. Among the participants in this hearing were: Fred Thompson Edward Markey Ashton Carter Gary Milhollin Curt Weldon and Henry Sokolski. In his opening statement Chairman D'Amato stated: "Our mandate calls on us to assess China's role in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist-sponsoring states. Ws we have stressed in our reports to the Congress proliferation stemming from China remains a serious concern. Have the Chinese taken decisive actions to reign in the various companies engaging in this behavior some of which have been repeatedly sanctions by the United States. We believe China must face this issue more frankly and effectively. Washington also must act to impose consequences on Beijing should it not cooperate on this vital matter. Currently the United States employes sanctions in hopes of curbing the proliferating habits of some of China's largest companies. That's the subject we're going to be exploring today. But U.S. sanctions laws have failed to stem this behavior and do not penalize the Chinese government for its lack of action to end it. Ultimately the Chinese government itself must be accountable for a WMD-related attack that involves either directly or indirectly materials or technologies originating in China. In addition to proliferation we will examine China's role in the North Korea nuclear crisis. The United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission informally the US-China Commission USCC is an independent agency of the United States government. It was established on October 30 2000 through the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act. The USCC is responsible for providing recommendations based on their findings on bilateral trade with the Peoples Republic of China evaluating national security and trading risks in all industries and conducting research on Chinas actions. All these findings are discussed in their hearings and submitted as an annual report or specific research topics every year. In part due to its small size the USCC directly reports to Congress and the president - it is not a part of any other department or agency in the federal government. The USCC consists of 12 commissioners who staff it and facilities that were absorbed from the former US Trade Deficit Review Commission. The commissioners are appointed to two-year terms by the Majority and Minority Leaders of the U.S. Senate and by the Speaker and Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. The current head of the commission is Carolyn Bartholomew and the Vice Chairman is Robin Cleveland who are responsible for organizing meetings with other commissioners. Each commissioner is entitled to one vote. The USCC staff and facilities are from former US Trade Deficit Review Commission by the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act of 2001. Since then the USCC is responsible for overseeing trade deficit matters with China. The USCC was created as the US government believes some of the current trades with China were in need of urgent attentions and corrections based on analyses considering Chinas military modernizations change of trade policy and media and information controls. Its first annual report in 2002 found that China is and will be a major competitor of the U.S. and also concluded that China as the third-largest trading partner had extremely unbalanced trade relationship. In the following years between 2004 and 2009 the USCC stated that Chinas undervalued currency counterfeiting and piracy export subsidies and lack of protection of US intellectual property right were continually contributed to a growing trade deficit. The main focus for the commission is constantly changing around the eight main areas. However the focused area in the last decade 2010-2020 is national security. The USCC argues the main direction of US-China relation will be "A combination of containment and engagement". The main part of the commission is to submit annual report every year. The USCC fulfills its mission by holding regular meetings with commission members to discuss recent related matters include write full analysis of eight focused parts which are Energy American Capital Market Economic transfers Regional Economics and Security impacts US-China Bilateral Programs Weapon proliferation World Trade Organization Compliance and Implications of restrictions on speech and information access in China. And provide conclusions and recommendations for legislative and administrative actions. Multiple hearings are held every year with commissioners and outside government parties to discuss relevant matters. The first hearing was "China Trade/Sectoral and WTO Issues" on June 14 2001. U. S.
