In 1996, Gary Locke made history as the first Chinese-American governor of the United States, whose ancestors came from China. When Gary Locke visited China in 2000, he said with affection: "I feel very dear to return to my ancestral homeland. ”
His sincere answer has won the love of China's **, and major ** have reported his deeds. He also actively sought economic cooperation with China, which received strong support from China.
On March 9, 2011, Gary Locke was appointed by Barack Obama as the U.S. ambassador to China, becoming the first Chinese-American ambassador in U.S. history. His appointment has once again won global attention and further enhanced the friendly relations between China and the United States.
Gary Locke installed an air detector at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and released the daily data. This has aroused strong repercussions among the Chinese people. Locke began to vigorously promote American theories on human rights, raising doubts about his motives.
He is Chinese-American, has a U.S. green card, thanks to his grandfather Luo Shize, a native of Taishan, Guangdong, who came to the United States a hundred years ago to chase his dreams. In order to earn money for English lessons, he worked as a handyman in a wealthy white family in the city of Olympia.
Interestingly, he and his family have chosen to live in China, does his behavior show that he is friendly to China?

Locke has won wide recognition from the people of Washington State for his outstanding political achievements, and has been selected by the Seattle Times as the state's most influential legislator, and is also known as the man of the year in the state legislature.
He is committed to the well-being of all people in Washington State and has made a name for himself with numerous honors and awards. In the 1993 King County gubernatorial election, Locke was elected with an all-time high of 53 percent of the vote, the first peak of his political career.
Under his leadership, the people of King County have seen significant change, and his stewardship skills have greatly improved the lives of the local people. In addition, Locke has also made important contributions to the in-depth cooperation between King County and the Seattle metropolitan area, successfully solving the problem of the Seahawks football team's residency in Seattle.
He is also committed to providing a comfortable living environment for local seniors to get out and about, so he built an international community plaza in Seattle's Chinatown. These initiatives have impressed the local population with Locke.
Locke's success is no accident, as he built on his history to make a splash when he ran for governor of Washington State in November 1996. In particular, in both competitions against his rivals, Locke won by a landslide, which was not easy at a time when Asians made up only 5 percent of Washington State's population.
This shows that Locke has won the support of a majority of non-Asian American citizens. So why is Locke so popular with non-Asian American citizens?
One of the important reasons for this is that during his tenure, he successfully revived the economy of Washington State. What's his secret? The answer is simple, he borrowed the Chinese east wind.
As a politician, he skillfully used his Chinese roots, combined with Washington State's strong industrial base, to seek economic cooperation with China.
Due to his Chinese identity and China's strong demand for investment in the nineties, Locke's move immediately received strong support from China.
Gary Locke, as a native of Chinese American, has not only brought convenience to the lives of Chinese people, but also brought tangible benefits to all American citizens. He first and foremost focused on the management of social order in order to prevent the recurrence of incidents like the ransacking of his father's restaurant by gangsters when he was young.
He reformed the education system, increased teachers' incomes, and gave every child equal access to education, and he himself is a vivid example of cherishing the opportunity to learn from an early age, helping out in his father's restaurant while studying.
Locke's success was no accident, and his admission to Harvard University and his bachelor's degree in law from Boston University were important stepping stones in his life. He has said that he has been able to get to where he is today and realize his "American dream" in large part thanks to the quality education he received.
Wall Street** has commented that Locke's success has not been easy, and the efforts of three generations of his family and his unique Chinese ancestry have paved the way for him to succeed.
After Obama was elected to the United States, he spoke highly of Locke's political achievements and appointed him ambassador to China in 2011. Locke's success story is yet another example of the important role that education and family background play in an individual's success.
China has always treated overseas Chinese with a friendly attitude, and is even more friendly and trusting than its friends in other countries. Locke's Chinese ancestry undoubtedly gave him a huge advantage and made him better understand Chinese psychology.
After all, as a Chinese-American ** who understands the psychology of Chinese, he has more advantages than the native United States**. Moreover, China's previous friendly attitude towards people of Chinese descent has also given him a higher level of trust.
Therefore, when Obama announced the appointment of Locke, he specifically mentioned his Chinese heritage and his family's history of struggle, which are important factors in his ability to genuinely think about the Chinese people and coordinate Sino-US relations.
On August 13, 2011, U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, his wife and three children, arrived in China to begin his mission. As soon as he arrived at the Beijing Embassy in China, he installed an air quality detector and made public Beijing's daily air quality data, allowing Chinese people to know PM2 for the first time5 This is the code name for haze.
Before that, most people thought that the bad weather was because there was often fog. However, if Locke's intentions are not yet understood, his next actions will reveal his true purpose.
He began giving public speeches in China, introducing American human rights ideas into Chinese soil, claiming that Chinese people have the right to understand the root causes of poor air quality.
Gary Locke has expressed pride in his Chinese ancestors, and during his tenure as governor of Washington State, he has carried out many aspects of economic cooperation with China, resulting in continued economic growth, higher employment and lower unemployment.
However, during a visit to China, he suddenly began to monitor air quality and use it to discredit China. Some have questioned his motives, pointing out that it is not his job, so his actions may simply be to snatch credit for air quality.
Former U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke has said that as China's economic development is getting better and better, and even surpassing the United States, he has begun to put pressure on China to make improvements in market access, legal improvement, fair law enforcement, and intellectual property protection, so as to fulfill the WTO commitments of both sides and balance China and the United States.
However, with the U.S. once again going to Taiwan for **military**, Locke's ambassadorship to China ended early. His tenure was only two years, the shortest of any ambassador to China.
For most Chinese expatriates, we need to look at Locke's past objectively. A commentary in Italy's Europa Times may reveal what he really is.
