Stanton）接替楊甦棣，擔任美國在台協會（AIT）台北辦事處處長。但台灣外交官員表 裝潢示，美方答覆是這項任命還未做出最後決定。AIT也不評論此人事案。 楊甦棣的繼任人選原以曾任AIT理事主席、歐巴瑪競選團隊外交智囊的卜睿哲呼聲最高，但卜以家庭因素婉拒，史坦頓因而出線。 史坦頓擁有公使銜，北卡羅萊納大學英 國文學 博士。1989至90年間、95至98年間，他曾?591漇蚰X使北京，因此，天安門事件及台海飛彈危機期間，他都正好在北京大使館任職。此外，史坦頓也做過國務院東亞副助卿的特別助理。 華府外交界對此人事案反應不一。有位前美國官員即指出，史坦頓和台灣沒有淵源，而且被認為對北京態度較軟弱，有同情北京傾向，他接替楊甦棣對台灣似乎不是好消息。 一 酒肉朋友位曾與史共事的人士則透露，一九九五年當時參院外委會主席赫姆斯非常關切中國非法買賣人體器官問題，北京大使館官員為此訪問一個中國醫生，並寫了詳細的報告揭露買賣人體器官祕辛，但被時任大使館公使兼政治參事的史坦頓以傷害美中關係為由壓下來，未發回國務院，這說明史坦頓處理中國問題的態度。 一位史的老長官則說，他是 信用卡代償在執行美國政府的政策，用「傾中派」形容並不公平。史坦頓曾在台學習一年中文，史妻凱倫也是職業外交官，可能和他一起到台北服務。 Bill Stanton assumed his position as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul on August 14, 2006.
