Today, Trump awarded his most prestigious position in his team – the US Ambassador to China – to his loyal vassal David Perdue.

David has a history as a senator, has many friends on Capitol Hill, and the Republican Party currently controls the Senate. It is expected that there will be no resistance to this nomination, and he is likely to quickly pass the Senate and travel to China.

And this newly appointed ambassador also has a deep connection with China.

Starting from the 1990s, from Sally and Hag Clothing to Reebok, David continuously joined some companies on the brink of bankruptcy, integrated their supply chains, and pushed them back into the capital market.

His secret is China.

After continuously closing factories in the United States, David moved production factories to China (Asia) to revive established American consumer enterprises by lowering supply chain costs.

In the 2020 US presidential and congressional elections, David was also attacked by the Democratic Party for being pro China, accusing him of becoming wealthy by outsourcing his work to China and being a crucial figure in the establishment of US China relations.

In the end, with the assistance of the Democratic media, David unfortunately lost his position as a senator.

However, despite earning a lot of money in China, during David’s tenure as a senator, he still fulfilled his role as a “China hawks” and paid close attention to Chinese affairs. He maintained a pace with his Republican colleagues on almost every tough bill related to China.

Perhaps this is related to David representing Georgia as a senator.

Aerospace and shipbuilding are the industrial backbone of Georgia, and David himself is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, leading the Subcommittee on Sea Power, whose almost only worthy “rival” for funding is China.

Of course, with David’s identity returning to Ambassador to China, it is certain that he will return to the dovish camp and become an important bridge for the warming of relations between China and the United States.

Moreover, based on past public statements, David opposes “decoupling” and believes that cooperation is necessary in combating issues such as terrorism, refugees, and drugs. Advocate for a new “policy of engagement” with China, abandoning the export of “democratic” ideology to China, but must be tough in areas involving interests.

On the tariff issue concerned by everyone, David gradually understood Mr. Trump’s customs. He opposed tariffs on China in the early stage, but later believed that Mr. Trump’s tariff method was the best way to force China to make a series of concessions. He is expected to be an important supporter and mixer of the future tariff stick against China.

It is no accident that Trump chose David. On the one hand, Mr. Trump, who likes to engage in transactions, likes to appoint people close to China to help him promote transactions.

For example, his previous ambassador to China, Terry Branstad, served as the governor of Iowa for over 20 years from 1983. It was also in that year that Branstad welcomed a young party secretary and established a friendly state with Hebei, building a 40 year friendship with that young man.

Similarly, David not only has a large number of friends in China’s political and business circles, but his cousin Sonny Perdue was also the US Secretary of Agriculture during the Trump 1.0 era, one of the most important cabinet officials in the US China trade negotiations, and the head of the agricultural sector, which was the main part of the first phase agreement.

Agriculture and farmers are the areas that Trump is most concerned about, and David, who has been appointed as the ambassador to China, can replace Branstad and Sonny to continue the agricultural content in the US China trade agreement. Moreover, David, who is proficient in business, is likely to come up with some new deals.

In addition to trading, on the other hand, Trump also prefers to reward the most lucrative positions to the most steadfast supporters as a recognition.

The Perdue family is one of the largest local snake families in Georgia, with older brother Sonny serving as the Speaker of the State Senate and Governor for a long time, and younger brother David being a senator with significant influence among Georgia’s voters.

Not only in the 2024 election, the Perdue family made a lot of efforts to help Mr. Trump win 16 votes in Georgia. In the 2020 election, the Perdue family also helped Mr. Trump challenge the controversy of the election at any cost in this key state, and is still an ally in the most difficult time.

Today, Trump announced in advance the most lucrative position in the federal government, marking that this big businessman will soon become the most familiar old friend of China’s top tier business community…
