U.S. Senate confirmed former Sen. David Perdue as President Trump's US ambassador to China.
The Republican, who served one term as a U.S. senator from Georgia, was confirmed 67 to 29 with some Democratic support.
At Perdue's confirmation hearing this month, the former business executive called the U.S. relationship with China the "most consequential diplomatic challenge of the 21st century."
He said, "Our approach to China should be nuanced, nonpartisan and strategic."
President Trump, who selected Perdue in December, slapped 145 percent tariffs on Chinese goods this month. Beijing retaliated by charging 125 percent tariffs on U.S. products
with no sign for any immediate climbdown.
