Gary Locke, 61, who comes from a Chinese background and even looks Chinese, become the new US ambassador (大使) to China.
“I can think of nobody who is more qualified than Gary Locke.” President Obama said. Locke’s new position is clearly a sign that US President is trying to improve relations with China.
When he made his first speech to the Chinese press in Beijing, Locke said, “ I think, being a Chinese-American, I have a greater understanding of the US government.”
Before becoming ambassador to China, Locke was US secretary of commerce (商务部长). This means he has plenty of trade experience, which will be useful in building economic links between the two countries.
Locke’s grandfather went to the United States over a century ago to work as a houseboy for a family in Washington State in exchange for English lessons. His father moved to US as a teenager.
“I’m going back to the birthplace of my grandfather, my father and my mom, and I’ll be doing so as a devoted diplomat (外交官) for America, the country where I was born and raised,” Locke said.
