A US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee responsible for technology-related issues has scheduled a discussion on Tuesday to delve into the topic of Chinese hacking events, with a particular focus on a recent case involving US telecommunications companies.

The impending session, set to be headed by Senator Richard Blumenthal, is set to examine the potential risks that Chinese cyberattacks and influence might pose to the nation’s democracy, security, and economy. Senator Blumenthal’s office further disclosed his intentions to voice concerns about Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s potential conflicting interests with China as Musk becomes increasingly entwined in governmental affairs.

The session is set to feature key industry figures including Adam Meyers, Senior VP at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, and David Stehlin, CEO of the Telecommunications Industry Association.

This discussion is of particular interest to investors or anyone keen on understanding the impact of cyber threats on national security and the economy. However, the article’s primary aim is not to advise or steer investment decisions.
