As a new Congress takes office, it must contend with America’s competition with China. How will Congress set priorities for bolstering America’s competitiveness? Where will China fit on Congress’ hierarchy of priorities? How will success be defined in long-term strategic competition with China? How will Congress and the White House work together or separately to navigate one of America’s most critical bilateral relationships? 

On Tuesday, February 25, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings will host a fireside chat with Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Brookings scholars Ryan Hass and Patricia Kim will moderate the analytical discussion on how Congress will approach the China challenge. Audience Q&A will follow the fireside chat. 

This event is a part of the Brookings Global China project, an initiative which focuses on advancing recommendations for how the United States should respond to China’s actions that implicate key American interests and values.
