U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, who oversaw the handling of potential crises over the flights to U.S. diplomatic missions by a persecuted legal activist and a high-profile police chief, said Wednesday he will step down early next year.

Locke, the first Chinese-American to hold the post, said he informed President Barack Obama earlier this month of his decision to rejoin his family in Seattle.

China is not an easy diplomatic assignment.

It tires the living hell out of anyone trying to make head and tail as to what is the underlining message behind the mellifluous sing song one is subejcted to as a diplomat.

And even then they are double entendre.

Something like:

"Tis better to have love and lust
Than to let our apparatus rust."
