In 2019, the Committee was told that there were various documents addressing the Government's strategy on China:

the China Framework; the Intelligence Outcomes Prioritisation (IOP) China Plan (previously known as the Intelligence Coverage and Effects Plan); and ***.

There was also an HMG Hostile State Activity (HSA) Strategy which is actor-agnostic but apparently informed by discussions on the China Framework and the IOP Plan.

As ever with government strategy, it was not clear exactly how these various marginally different documents fit together, but the diagram overleaf was the best representation we were able to establish at the time of taking evidence, after lengthy discussions with those in NSS leading on the strategy.
