("这则推文是美国国务院东亚事务局星期四在其官方推特账号上发的帖子，内容是关于美台代表团在亚太经济合作组织(APEC)一个妇女论坛中密切交流的情形，推文还包括一张美国负责APEC事务的大使马修斯(Matt Matthews)与台湾代表团团长詹婷怡及其他成员的合照。  不过推文引发争议的部分，是关于台湾的称呼。  推文说：'美国和中华台北(Chinese Taipei)密切合作，增进亚太地区妇女的参与，包括通过APEC来参与。感谢大家交流思想' ")

(A) That Bureau is currently headed by W Patrick Murphy is currently acting principal deputy assistant secretary of the Bureau. He was nominated on Aug 12, 2018 as US ambassador to Cambodia (which needs senate confirmation, so he remains in the Bureau for now).
(B) Susan A Thornton was acting assistant secretary of the Bureau until late July when she retired. Nobody has been nominated for that position after Pompeo became secretary of state.
