US President Barack Obama has chosen Commerce Secretary Gary Locke as the next ambassador to China.

Locke would be the first Chinese-American to serve as Washington's envoy to Beijing. If approved by the Senate, he will replace Jon Huntsman, a Republican who is expected to end his tenure at the end of April. Obama has said no one is better qualified for the diplomatic post than Locke.

The Obama administration says it has worked hard to build a relationship with China, addressing global security issues and developing trade ties.

Locke said, "As Commerce Secretary, I have helped open up foreign markets for American businesses so they can create more jobs right here in America, and I am eager to continue that work in China and to help you, Mr. President, manage one of America's most critical and complex diplomatic, economic and strategic relationships."
