Good morning. This hearing will now come to order. I am pleased to welcome our distinguished panel of Witnesses Today is the economic and security subcommittee. He focuses on the very important topic that i think has a lot of bipartisan interest in. And that is the economic and geostrategic challenge that the rise of china poses for the United States. Much as today, but in the future. China, communist party, Peoples Republic Party of china. Unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft and market manipulation and very prominently in my view, m nonreciprocal treatment. Not just an economic room but in many realms. It has been a force in the Global Economy that undercuts the resiliency and strength of the u. S. Economy. China has been one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies. Averaging close to 10 percent growth from 1979 to 2016. In 2014, china was the Worlds Largest economy and nursing power bases according to the international monetary.

And we have done that for the purpose to recall them, what they did and then i had an opportunity to recognize the cadets and all the officers and thank them and tell them were very appreciative of them as firstresponders in the city. I was in
You would like to put the occupied incident beside you, and many in the bay area would like to do the same, is it fair to regard occupy as something in the rearview mirror, or are you expecting further disruption at the port and elsewhere in the city . I think the bay area has a group of anarchists. With the oakland occupiers, two years ago, we had the bank demonstrations in San Francisco. I think it is a very similar group. You had a lot of broken windows and demonstrations. Everybody was wondering if this was after seattle, the International Monetary fund meeting. Everyone wondered if they would leave there. They came over and seemed to hang out in oakland for a while. I think we have a particular political element in the bay area that other people do not have. People in oakland that is the difference.
