Beijing Beautiful

U.S Ambassador to China Gary Locke has a secret weapon at home, and her name is Mona.  Mona Locke, recently featured in Vogue Magazine as the "Toast of Beijing", certainly steps out in style.  She has quite a following in Beijing, patronizes local designers, and has been out and about, demonstrating her public speaking prowess and intellect.  Mona has a background as a TV reporter, and has the poise to prove it.  Mona, we thank you for setting an awesome example of how spouses (both men and women) bring so much to the diplomatic table!
