What Rubio’s Nomination Means for Trump’s China Policy

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has been selected as the next secretary of state. Does his nomination signal President-elect Donald Trump’s tough stance on Beijing could go beyond tariffs and trade?

Trump’s picks for national security adviser and CIA director are also hardliners on China.

As for Rubio, he would be the first sitting U.S. secretary of state banned from traveling to China. Beijing sanctioned him over his support for human rights in the country.
