The Commission would hold public hearings, allow public comments, may hold classified sessions, consult Congress quarterly, and produce a final report within 18 months of enactment. - Would focus strategy on promoting U.S. standards, innovation, and economic security to counter China’s agenda and reduce vulnerabilities in critical supply chains.
