Sarah Kirchberger: "In April this year, I testified before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) of the U.S. Congress on China’s Subsurface Warfare technologies.
In the USCC’s 2023 Annual Report to Congress which is now out, you can find a thorough yet concise summary of my testimony and related discussions on pp. 459-464 (in Chapter 4): https://www.uscc.gov/annual-report/2023-annual-report-congress
I was also very glad to see that one of my recommendations has made the list of 'key recommendations' on pp. 10-11 of the Executive Summary; it’s no. VIII on the establishment of a database for due diligence purposes (https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/2023-11/2023_Executive_Summary.pdf )
Many thanks to the USCC for the kind invitation to testify in person and contribute to a - for me - fascinating session on multiple aspects of China’s defence technology and related export control issues!"
