 It’s Outrageous That Joe Biden Is Even Considering Disney’s Bob Iger For Ambassador To China
December 16, 2020 By Emily Jashinsky

News that former Disney CEO Bob Iger is under consideration to serve as Joe Biden’s Chinese ambassador is a concerning indication the president-elect’s relationship with Beijing will be even worse than expected.

Iger, currently the executive chairman of Disney, has collaborated closely with the Chinese government to produce and release films in the Middle Kingdom, a venture that ultimately makes him complicit in the country’s mounting human rights abuses.

Iger is exactly the wrong person to nominate for this position which, by the way, is among the most important jobs in the world right now. He’s qualified to negotiate with Beijing, but for all the wrong reasons—cozy ties, long relationships, and tolerance for the government’s terrible conduct.

In the midst of the NBA’s blow-up with Beijing over the protests in Hong Kong, Iger declined to support the protesters, saying instead, “What we learned in the last week — we’ve learned how complicated this is. The biggest learning from that is that caution is imperative. To take a position that could harm our company in some form would be a big mistake. I just don’t believe it’s something we should engage in in a public manner.” (Iger, of course, never found things too “complicated” to speak out in favor of leftist causes.)

Outrage overload is going to be the continuous reality of a Biden Presidency. His Cabinet picks are Obamian retreads and check-off boxes with little or no experience/competence in the policy areas in which they are supposed leaders.

I just hope someone is carefully following the money the best they can.

All of it, or just the big guys 10%?

Iger is a China stooge.  You could not find someone that loves China more in the USA other than a Chinese agent/spy.

With this cretin involved, Uncle Sam will be bent over and abused daily.

When you want the very best ...a Leni Riefenstahl for China, courtesy of Disney's Empire....Maybe they can build a MaoLand park....and teach Chinese girls to sing through their noses.
