Trump Appoints David Perdue as Ambassador to China

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former senator and Fortune 500 CEO David Perdue as the US ambassador to China, a key diplomatic position amid rising tensions with Beijing. Perdue, who has extensive international business experience, is seen as a contrast to Trump's other national security picks, who are more critical of China. His appointment suggests a focus on economic diplomacy, despite Trump's aggressive trade stance, including proposed tariffs on Chinese imports. Perdue's business background and previous support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership highlight potential contradictions in Trump's China policy.
