A key adviser on China to President Joe Biden is set to depart the White House National Security Council at a tumultuous time in the US relationship with Beijing.

Laura Rosenberger, special assistant to the president and the NSC’s senior director for China and Taiwan, will depart next month, according to White House officials. Her exit plans have long been in the works and are not related to the ongoing feud over the alleged Chinese spy balloon that traversed the continental US before being shot down earlier this month.
