Biden Reportedly Adds “Asia tsar” position, Appointing an Eagle Party China expert who Called on Indo-Pacific Allies to join Forces Against China

Financial Times quoted resources saying that US President-elect Biden will nominate foreign policy expert Kurt Campbell for a new position deemed “Asia tsar”. Campbell is regarded as a hawk in China policy. He explained how China destabilized the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, and how the United States should work with countries in the region to respond in an article in Foreign Affairs on January 12. Regarding Taiwan policy, Campbell and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen are friends, expecting that he will benefit Taiwan in the cross-strait situation after taking office.

Three sources stated to Financial Times that Biden will soon announce the news about the nomination of Kurt Campbell. The main mission of the new position of “Asia tsar” is to face the challenge from China. The report said that Biden will face a series of China-related issues after taking office on January 20, including how to respond to Beijing's suppression of Hong Kong democracy protest, and deciding whether to keep retaining the Trump administration’s tough policy towards China. Biden reportedly understands that China's issues are not just related to diplomacy, national defence and economic, but also related to many departments. Therefore, it is necessary to hire an expert who is familiar with Asian affairs to integrate China policies of various departments of the US government.
