Darren Beattie has been appointed as the acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy in the Trump administration, raising eyebrows due to his controversial history. Fired from the White House in 2018 for his connections to a white nationalist event, Beattie has been known for his favorable comments toward authoritarian regimes, especially China and Russia. He has publicly defended Chinese policies against the Uighur population and has suggested that the U.S. should accept China's claim on Taiwan, showcasing a concerning alignment with foreign adversaries' perspectives.
In Beattie's view, Taiwan is destined to belong to China, and efforts to oppose this reality are viewed as a waste of resources.
Beattie has demonstrated a troubling alignment with Chinese governmental perspectives, labeling critics of their actions as "Uighur Supremacists."
