The Commission conducted six public hearings, taking testimony from 52 witnesses that included industry, academia, think tanks and research institutions, and other experts. For each of these hearings, the Commission produced a transcript (posted on its website at www.uscc.gov). The Commission received a number of briefings by executive branch agencies and the Intelligence Community, including classified briefings on China’s industrial espionage activities, military reforms, aviation industry, and cyber activities. The Commission is preparing a classified report to Congress on these and other topics. The Commission also received briefs by foreign diplomatic and military officials as well as U.S. and foreign nongovernmental experts. Commissioners made official delegation visits to Taiwan, China, and India to hear and discuss perspectives on China and its global and regional activities. In these visits, the Commission delegation met with U.S. diplomats, host government officials, business representatives, academics, journalists, and other experts. The Commission also relied substantially on the work of our excellent professional staff and supported outside research in accordance with our mandate. The Report includes 20 recommendations for Congressional action. Our ten most important recommendations appear on page 29 at the conclusion of the Executive Summary. We offer this Report to Congress in the hope that it will be useful as an updated baseline for assessing progress and challenges in U.S.-China relations. Thank you for the opportunity to serve. We look forward to continuing to work with you in the upcoming year to address issues of concern in the U.S.-China relationship. Yours truly, Dennis C.
