💨 Abstract

David Perdue, a former U.S. Senator and Trump ally, has been appointed as the new U.S. envoy to China. He will emphasize his close ties to President Trump to restore communication between the U.S. and China, particularly focusing on trade disagreements and fentanyl trade. Perdue, initially a champion of global trade, later adopted a hawkish stance on China, advocating for tariffs and increased maritime presence in the South China Sea.
