A think-tank expert with a history of controversial views on China and North Korea recently joined the Biden administration as a political appointee, National Review has learned.
Up until late last month, Jessica Lee was a senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft — a George Soros– and Charles Koch–funded think tank, which has taken relatively soft stances toward China, Russia, and Iran. During her tenure there, she urged policy-makers to abandon hard-edged criticism of Beijing, while also blaming China hawks for a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes.
