Gina Raimondo Going To China

US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo will be going to Beijing and maybe Shanghai in the immediate future to talk over the "rules-based order" and trade issues with the godless Commies. The 52 year-old former governor of Rhode Island is certainly a stealth candidate for the Democrats in the next US presidential election, should the current POTUS not run for re-election. Raimondo is the "designated survivor", an official that doesn't attend events that include the president, assuring a continuity of government should the unthinkable occur. Being in this position, among other things, makes her a significant figure in the Democratic Party.

A Harvard Law School grad, she was also considered for Secretary of Health and Human Services and Secretary of the Treasury during the last election campaign. She checks all the boxes for almost any position in the upper reaches of the federal menagerie, including president, except for her ethnicity. The staggering mediocrity of the current vice president enhances Raimondo's chances.

Raimondo is married, with two children, to veteran McKinsey Consulting firm operative Andrew Moffit.

Raimondo update:  The US Commerce Secretary made the trip to Shanghai. While she may have had discussions with important Chinese figures, the highlight of the trip was a stop at Disneyland Shanghai, an American amusement park that has invaded the Celestial Kingdom. It might be significant that an American version of "virtual reality" would be more or less unique in nuts and bolts China.

What does it mean when the Chinese elite wear 19th century British business suits as well as American women? The Commerce Secretary's only deviation from masculine attire is the sensible lack of a tie and feminine shoes. Girls just wanna be guys.
