Nicholas Burns, the Biden administration’s nominee to be U.S. ambassador to China, criticized the regime in Beijing during his Oct. 20 confirmation hearing for its display of aggression on the international stage as well as rights abuses in Tibet and Taiwan.
Burns was questioned by members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a host of topics including countering the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its human rights abuses, the United States’ stance on Taiwan–China relations, and other U.S. interests concerning China.
