Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I want to thank you for holding today's hearing on U.S.-China relations.

Reaffirming the peaceful and collaborative resolution of maritime and jurisdictional disputes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

I just want to personally thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership in having this hearing today.

I have always complained about the fact that we did not seem to pay attention to the Asia-Pacific Region from previous administrations.
