Trump picks Xi's friend as ambassador to China www3.nhk.or.jp

US President-elect Donald Trump says he will nominate an old friend of China's President Xi Jinping as ambassador to the country.

Trump announced his choice of Iowa Governor Terry Branstad on Wednesday.

The 70-year-old Republican served as governor of his home state for 16 years from 1983. He was elected again in 2011 and is currently in his sixth term.

US media reports say Branstad met Xi in 1985 when he led a farm research delegation from Hebei Province to Iowa.

Xi visited Iowa again in 2012, shortly before he assumed the presidency. Branstad invited him to dinner and called him a "longtime friend."

Trump described Branstad as a great choice, saying "He knows them all" -- referring to his longstanding ties with Chinese leaders.

Trump held a direct phone conversation last week with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen, prompting concerns over the future of US-China relations. The US and Taiwan have no official diplomatic ties.

Observers say Trump's appointment of Branstad may signal his intent to strengthen ties with China primarily in economic areas.
