New U.S. Ambassador to China?

Word is spreading in both Democratic and Republican circles that the next US Ambassador to China will be Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. 

President Obama may appoint him as soon as today, Saturday, May 16.

I've been hearing about Mr. Huntsman as for many years through my involvement in the Republican Party politics and also through Wharton Alumni Affairs. He is widely respected as a man of conscience and integrity. I will see about getting a personal meeting with him as soon as the appointment is announced.
