On Wednesday, July 19th, Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party will host a thunderdome debate with policy experts on trade and economic engagement with China.
The event will feature two bipartisan, two-person teams debating three main policy areas, including: China trade relations, technology exports controls, and investment flows. Chairman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) will moderate.
