〔即時新聞/綜合報導〕美國總統拜登今公布多項人事案,提名出身台灣的美國陸軍前助理部長徐若冰(Heidi Shyu)出任國防部研發暨工程次長,另外也提名美籍華裔的前勞工部副部長盧沛寧(Christopher P. Lu)出任駐聯合國改革與管理事務代表。
綜合外媒報導,未來若徐若冰通過提名,將創下亞裔美國人在美國國防部文官系統的最高位階紀錄,並將成為繼佛洛諾伊(Michele Flournoy)之後,第二位出任國防部次長的女性。
徐若冰出生於台灣,祖父為前空軍副總司令徐康良,徐若冰赴美求學後,獲得加州大學洛杉磯分校的工程學位以及多倫多大學數學碩士。

《彭博》報導指出,若參議院確認通過徐若冰出任國防部研發暨工程次長,將會成為美國研發下一代極音速武器的關鍵人物之一,並與副部長希克斯(Kathleen Hicks)、陸軍部長提名人沃姆斯(Christine Wormuth)和國防部成本評估部門主任候選人布魯姆(Susanna Blume)撐起拜登的國防團隊。
除了徐若冰之外,拜登也提名盧沛寧(Christopher P. Lu)出任駐聯合國改革與管理事務代表。盧沛寧父母出生於中國,之後輾轉至台灣生活,1950年代赴美留學後移民當地,1966年盧沛寧在紐澤西州出生。盧沛寧攻讀哈佛法學院時,曾是美國前總統歐巴馬(Barack Obama)的同學,盧沛寧在歐巴馬任內曾擔任白宮內閣秘書長,並在2014年獲得提名出任勞工部副部長。
