Reports to the US Congress on NED and NDI programs in Hong Kong

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a US Government body that prepares reports for members and committees of Congress on a regular basis.

Because the US Congress funds the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the CRS regularly updates Congress on the progress of NED programs, including those undertaken by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) targeting Hong Kong.

A lot of American taxpayer’s money is being spent on such programs, so it is important to ensure they are being spent wisely.

Michael F. Martin is a Specialist in Asian Affairs for the CRS and since 2008 he has prepared the following reports for Congress on Hong Kong:
