Sarah Beran, with prior diplomatic experience in Beijing, is expected to take over the leadership of the National Committee on United States-China Relations from Stephen Orlins, who has held the position since 2005.
Sarah Beran, a former deputy chief of mission at the US embassy in Beijing, is set to succeed Stephen Orlins as president of the National Committee on United States-China Relations (NCUSCR), the South China Morning Post has learned.
Speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to comment publicly, the sources said Orlins, 76, president of the NCUSCR since 2005, would retire and play an advisory role after the transition.
The NCUSCR’s leadership has been notified of the leadership succession, which will happen in the next few weeks, according to a source.
“Sarah is a seasoned China hand,” a second source said.
“Her experience at the highest levels of [US] diplomacy and direct experience managing critical bilateral negotiations, crisis scenarios and regulatory frameworks make her a very suitable successor to Stephen.”
The NCUSCR has yet to respond to the SCMP’s emailed inquiries.
