The 2023 Gallagher Open | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The U.S. State Department has picked veteran diplomat Mark Lambert as its top China policy official, five sources familiar with the matter said, bringing in new leadership for a part of the department that has faced staffing problems and criticism over its handling of China-focused initiatives.
Lambert's appointment is unlikely to change the tone of Washington's China policy, which President Joe Biden's administration says is one of"intense competition" while trying to increase engagement with Beijing to stabilize ties. In the new role, he will continue to report to Assistant Secretary Daniel Kritenbrink who leads the department's East Asian and Pacific Affairs bureau.
Republicans in Congress have questioned whether the Biden administration's effort to engage with senior Chinese officials has led to watered-down measures toward Beijing, an idea the department rejects.

Chip stocks: Why Secretary Raimondo’s China visit mattersU.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visited China this week in a bid to ease some of the tensions between the United States and China. Axios Global Tech Correspondent Ryan Heath joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what this means for chipmakers and for the future of U.S. and China relations. Investors and chipmakers should be “mildly encouraged” about communication between the United States and China, Heath says. “The more transparency, the more dialogue, the better for you as a chipmaker,” Heath explains. “U.S. exports to China are still basically at record levels and that also includes for some forms of chips” and the “broad environment is still reasonable encouraging,” Heath notes. Heath says Raimondo 'is extremely well regarded by the White House' and 'is treated as a serious player by the people she is talking to in Beijing, you know, that’s exactly the right person that you want there having these discussions. It doesn’t guarantee any outcomes in the future, but it gives you a solid basis for having a more functional relationship.”
