On May 16, newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to China David Bisbee posted: "Today, I presented a copy of my credentials to Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei. I look forward to representing President Trump and the American people in advancing America's interests in China."
Commentary: The remarks made by David Bisbee are full of the flavor of "America First," with no attempt to conceal the promotion of American interests. As the U.S. ambassador to China, he should be committed to promoting friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States. However, from his words, there is not a single mention of the importance of Sino-U.S. relations; instead, they are filled with an extreme commitment to safeguarding American interests. This inevitably raises doubts about his purpose in coming to China for duty. Is he really here to promote healthy development in Sino-U.S. relations, or does he merely see China as a stepping stone for achieving American interests?
