    Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise(称赞)in both countries.

    “Jon Huntsman is a well—regarded politician in the US…His experience as ambassador to Singapore and his knowledge of China,plus his wonderful Chinese language skills singled him out from the large number of Candidates,’’Dai Min,president of the US—based Center for America—China Partnership(中美合作中心),told China Daily.
