The Senate Intelligence Committee will hold an open hearing today on the subject of Chinese threats to US national security, with the title 'Beijing's Long Arm: Threats To US National Security'. The hearing is due to get underway at 1445ET (1945BST, 2045CET) and a link to a livestream can be found here.

  • Witnesses are:
    • Bill Evanina - Founder & CEO Evanina Group & Former Director for the National Counterintelligence & Security Center (NCSC)
    • Anna Puglisi - Senior Fellow: Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) at Georgetown University
    • Matt Pottinger - Distinguished Visiting Fellow: The Hoover Institute & Former Deputy National Advisor for the White House
  • US-China relations are showing no significant sign of improvement in the short term. A number of western nations - led by the US Navy and the UK Royal Navy - are currently sailing carrier strike fleets into the South China Sea in a direct action intended to act as a display of strength in the region to counter what Washington, D.C. views as aggressive Chinese foreign policy.
  • China has warned western nations of not engaging in 'improper actions', with Beijing accusing the UK of 'still living in its colonial days' following the Royal Navy's entry to the region.
