What Marco Rubio's nomination as Trump's secretary of state means for China and Taiwan
Briefly

Since winning his senate seat in 2010, Rubio has been an outspoken critic of China. He has repeatedly spoken out about China's ambitious military and political goals, economic power, and the US' response to its growing influence. These criticisms have put him at odds with Beijing, which sanctioned him twice for his outspoken stance and actions related to human rights issues in China. His fierce approach to foreign policy underscores the potential for escalating tensions between the US and China.
Trump confirmed the pick, calling Rubio 'a highly respected leader' who 'will be a strong advocate for our nation, a true friend to our allies, and a fearless warrior who will never back down to our adversaries.' These accolades reflect Trump's intent to maintain a hardline stance in international relations, particularly regarding China, and emphasize Rubio's commitment to a robust US foreign policy approach.
