Serving as the U.S. Ambassador to China has been the honor of a lifetime
. I am profoundly grateful to President Obama for providing me the
opportunity to serve as his representative in Beijing these past two and a
half years – and to be the first Chinese-American to hold this position.
Helping manage one of the most vitally important bilateral relationships for
the United States, with so many critical American interests at stake, has
been an immense and rewarding challenge. And living in China while
representing the United States has truly been an exciting privilege for
our entire family.
When I met with President Obama earlier this month, I informed him of my
decision to step down as Ambassador in early 2014 to rejoin my family in
Seattle.
I am extremely proud of the work of our staff at the U.S. Embassy and
Consulates in China and what we have been able to accomplish together on
behalf of the American people and for U.S.-China relations.
Our efforts have focused on job creation in America by increasing
exports to China, opening more markets for American companies, and promoting
Chinese investment in the U.S. We have significantly increased Chinese
business and tourism travel to the U.S. by dramatically reducing wait times
for a visa to 3-5 days from historical highs of 70-100 days. And we have
advanced American values by meeting with religious leaders and human rights
lawyers, and visiting Tibetan and Uighur ethnic minorities in Tibet and
Xinjiang.
Finally, as I reflect on my tenure as Ambassador, I do so knowing that U
.S.-China relations continue to grow stronger. While our bilateral
relationship is a complex one, I remain confident in the ability of our
leaders to manage differences and increase cooperation in areas of mutual
concern to the benefit of not just our two great peoples, but the entire
world. | d**i

发帖数: 10208 | 7 不少美国使馆工作人员对骆家辉萌生去意感到惊讶，毕竟他才在这个位置上待了两年半
。2011年3月9日，奥巴马提名他为第十任美国驻中华人民共和国大使，当年8月13日正
式接替前任洪博培。其妻子李蒙和3个孩子也跟随他前来北京生活。
有使馆工作人员称，今年7月李蒙和孩子们已率先回到美国，以便其大女儿能够在西雅
图读完高中。
据海外媒体引述骆家辉的话称，卸任完全是由于个人原因，包括两个正读中学的孩子的
教育问题。“我们希望我们的孩子回到美国读中学。”骆家辉说，11月1日他已亲自告
诉了奥巴马他的决定，并得到了奥巴马的支持。
