Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia & the Pacific, will hold a hearing Tuesday investigating why the federal government is planning to spend American tax dollars to help make Chinese manufacturers more energy efficient at the expense of their American competitors.
The hearing, entitled “Feeding the Dragon: Reevaluating U.S. Development Assistance to China,” will begin at 11:30 am ET Tuesday, Nov. 15, in Room 2172 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing will also be webcast live on the Foreign Affairs Committee website at http://www.hcfa.house.gov.
The main topic of the hearing will be a program at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that would spend $3.95 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help China adopt clean energy technologies and policies, protect wildlife, and establish law school courses. Such a program would give Chinese manufacturers an even greater advantage against their American competitors, and Manzullo strongly believes the program should be eliminated.
The primary witness at the hearing will be Nisha Desai Biswal, Assistant Administrator for Asia at USAID
