I was asked to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 22, 2026. The link is here: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/committee-activity/hearings/stealth-stealing-chinas-ongoing-theft-of-us-innovation-04-22-2026.

My comments are devoted to three key items. First, an excessive focus on “IP Theft” has not helped the U.S. become more technologically competitive. Second, China cares deeply about intellectual property at a time when the U.S. is increasingly disinterested. Third, we need to undertake practical steps to restore our competitiveness, including by creating institutions in the government that actively anticipate and manage competing technologies.

I expect most of the questions will be around the “IP Theft” issue, where my positions are clear: https://chinaipr.com/2019/05/12/the-600-billion-dollar-china-ip-echo-chamber/; https://www.nbr.org/publication/the-criminal-bias-in-u-s-intellectual-property-diplomacy/; https://chinaipr.com/2021/07/22/rethinking-us-ip-diplomacy-the-role-of-civil-remedies/; https://chinaipr.com/2020/12/11/the-wto-ip-cases-that-werent/, etc.

I believe the hearing will be live streamed. If you are attending in person, I look forward to seeing you!
