As Capitol Hill comes under new management with the control of
both houses of Congress changing to the Democrats in January, there
is a growing bipartisan consensus that America faces serious
problems with China's "rise." That concern is reflected in the
latest draft 2006 Annual Report of the United States-China Economic
and Security Review Commission (USCC) which noted that "China's
influence is growing as its wealth and power increase, and there
remain many reasons to hope that China might in some future stand
as a pillar of the international community, but its behavior is as
yet far from meeting that standard." The USCC was especially
unsettled by Beijing's continued disregard for the pillars of
international stability: nonproliferation, rules-based global trade
and human rights. Its 2006 Annual Report will be formally submitted
to Congress on November 16. Four USCC Commissioners will join us on
November 21 for a discussion of the report and its impact on
Congressional perspectives on China.
