  • 9th United States Ambassador to China

    In office

    August 11, 2009 – April 30, 2011

  • "Keep your friends close and your enemies in China"

  • LMAO!

  • No Chinese speaking person who is also fluent in English ever sees the humor in the "Mandarin Spoken Easily" comment.

    Explaining why it is funny to Americans, to English speaking people spoils the fun. Sorry.

  • HeisenbergSleptHere:

    Your spellings are wrong....those are not how maindrain words are spelled by the over 95% Chinese population in China. Where did you get the study book?

  • You're doing yourself justice here, President Obama. Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has his connections with China - Huntsman has adopted his daughter, Gracie, and he is fluent in Mandarin Chinese as a Mormon Missionary several years ago.

  • We here in Utah are thrilled with this move because of the opportunities Utah will achieve from this move. Huntsman has a long and loyal history of building trade opportunities for Utah businesses among Asian nations.

  • huntsman, you're lucky for this U.S presidential nomination as a U.S ambassador for china, this is HUGE

    there were alot of ivy league graduates as candidates for this position, but you was chosen, you're lucky!!! and good luck.

  • I am very happy that Sudam Hussein is gone thanks to Bush! Obama is bad news! He has not helped much. Yes, there is a "stimulus", not like the one-time lump payment Bush gave us (my family got $900 last year). We are all getting only $30-$40 tax credits per paycheck.
