Report: Biden’s Key Adviser on China Policy to Leave Admin After Balloon EpisodeJacob Bliss 15 Feb 2023 Washington, DC
President Joe Biden’s key adviser on China policy will leave the administration after the suspected Chinese spy balloon fiasco early this month, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing White House officials.
Laura Rosenberger, special assistant to the president and the White House National Security Council’s senior director for China and Taiwan, will depart the White House next month, the report said.
While her exit comes just after the U.S. military shot down a Chinese vessel believed to be surveillance aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean, Bloomberg noted that her “exit plans have long been in the works and are not related to the ongoing feud” between the U.S. and communist China.
Bloomberg reported that the State Department’s Sarah Beran would replace Rosenberger, a career Foreign Service Officer who once served as director for the State’s Office of Chinese and Mongolian Affairs. Rush Doshi, who currently serves on the NSC as China director, will serve as deputy.
The White House claimed that Rosenberger helped strengthen the U.S.’s unofficial relations with Taiwan by broadening and deepening engagement with the island nation.
