Deterrence Amid Rising Tensions: Preventing CCP Aggression on Taiwan - May 15, 2025

The House Select Committee on China will hold a hearing titled “Deterrence Amid Rising Tensions: Preventing CCP Aggression on Taiwan." The hearing will be held on Thursday, May 15th.
The hearing will feature expert testimony addressing not only the strategic and military threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but also the economic dangers to American investments in China. Witnesses will examine how the CCP's predatory financial practices, systemic corruption, and increasing hostility toward Taiwan endanger U.S. economic interests—particularly the retirement savings of hardworking Americans. The discussion will highlight the urgent need to safeguard these investments from the CCP’s expanding influence and destabilizing tactics, including financial scams and coercive market behavior.
The witnesses for the hearing will be:
General (Ret.) Charles Flynn, Former Commander, United States Army Pacific
Rear Admiral (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, Senior Director, Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation, Foundation for the Defense of Democracy
The Honorable Kurt Campbell, 22nd United States Deputy Secretary of State
