                 Background: This is the seventh public hearing the Commission will
                hold during its 2023 reporting cycle. The hearing will start with an
                evaluation of the health of China's financial sector, assessing the
                extent of China's evolving fiscal and financial challenges and the
                consequent implications for China's economic growth. Next, the hearing
                will examine China's role in global capital markets, including how
                Chinese firms raise capital from abroad via offshore tax havens and how
                China's sovereign wealth funds invest and deploy China's foreign
                exchange reserves. Finally, the hearing will address developments in
                U.S.-China trade relations and U.S. supply chain resiliency, looking at
                the major trends reshaping U.S. supply chain strategies in addition to
                China's efforts to secure dominance in key technology areas, such as
                clean energy technology.
                 The hearing will be co-chaired by Commissioner Robin Cleveland and
                Commissioner Kimberly T. Glas. Any interested party may file a written
                statement by August 21, 2023 by transmitting to the contact above. A
                portion of the hearing will include a question and answer period
                between the Commissioners and the witnesses.
