Is Biden seriously going to appoint the head of Disney to be our new ambassador to China?

The idea of nominating Iger is so glaringly terrible that I suspect it s coming from his own camp, not Team Joe. The Disney executive chairman, who once toyed with the idea of a 2020 presidential run, is at the top of President-elect Joe Biden s wish list for a key ambassador post, namely China or the U.K., sources recently told & The Hollywood Reporter, a newspaper not known for major political scoops. Iger and his cronies are probably spreading this around in the media hoping that the idea will gain some buzz in Democratic circles and steer Biden towards considering it. That would explain why THR, rather than Politico, is hearing whispers about it first. Robert Iger has told people close to the incoming Biden administration that he would be interested in serving as U.S. ambassador to China, according to people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal noted today. I m sure he has. And I bet he told those same people to make sure that the WSJ knows about it too.

What s so stupid about this rumor is that Biden can t afford to be seen as weak on China, and not just because of Republican opinion. The two parties aren t that far apart in their disdain for ChiCom totalitarianism, after all:
