Republican Policy Committee kicks off ‘Meet the Experts’ Series with foreign policy discussion at the Hudson Institute

The House Republican Policy Committee launched ‘Meet the Experts’, a series of roundtable discussions between thought leaders in Congress who serve on the Republican Policy Committee and policy experts off the Hill on critical issues facing the country.

The Hudson Institute hosted “Next Steps in US-China Great Power Competition with the House Republican Policy Committee”, featuring Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Michael Sobolik and Representatives Troy Downing (R-MT) and Joe Wilson (R-SC).

House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (OK-01) said, “I am honored to work with my colleagues in the House Republican Policy Committee to highlight important issues facing the United States of America. Congressman Troy Downing and Congressman Joe Wilson understand the importance of the US-China Great Powers Competition and its impact on the work we do in Congress.”

Congressman Troy Downing (MT-02) said, “From nuclear development, to artificial intelligence, to digital assets, it is critical that the United States not cede global leadership of these critical sectors to China if we are to remain the world’s foremost superpower. I appreciate the Hudson Institute for its leadership shining a spotlight on these issues, my co-panelist Rep. Wilson for our insightful discussion, and the Republican Policy Committee for getting everyone in the same room.”

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) said, “I’m grateful to serve on the House Republican Policy Committee which is leading the way in conservative policy solutions on behalf of the American people. Today’s event at the Hudson Institute was an important opportunity to highlight our committee’s work in supporting President Trump’s agenda and countering the Chinese Communist Party.”

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Michael Sobolik said, “It was an honor for Hudson Institute to host Rep. Wilson and Rep. Downing for this critical conversation about countering the Chinese Communist Party. The RPC is at the cutting edge of innovative solutions to ensure that America wins this competition and blunts Beijing’s malign influence.”
