The Biden administration shouldn’t put Iger — or any other entertainment industry bigwig, for that matter — in charge of diplomatic relations with China. Iger undoubtedly knows the shady world of Chinese politics, having overseen the creation, building and opening of Walt Disney’s theme park in Shanghai. But what about for the United States? But the ambassador to China needs to be someone who will balance what China desires to gain from the United States with the values that the United States should project to the world. The United States deserves to be represented on the world stage by someone who puts our national values ahead of personal profits.
