Rahm Emanuel, Nicholas Burns Seen as Potential China Envoy Bloomberg 2/17/2021 Peter Martin and Jennifer Jacobs
(Bloomberg) Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns are among the leading candidates for U.S. ambassador to China, a person familiar with the matter said.
The Biden administration is looking for someone with deep political ties or diplomatic experience for the crucial posting, according to the person, who asked not to be identified discussing the internal deliberations.
The ambassador to Beijing will act as a critical bridge between the world’s two largest economies after the Biden administration signaled that it plans to maintain former President Donald Trump’s tough stance toward Beijing while also allowing for possible areas of cooperation on issues such as climate change.
