The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee holds a hearing to consider the nomination of Marc Rubio to become Secretary of State in the Trump administration. US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of state Rubio is one of a trio of China hawks whom Donald Trump has tapped for senior roles, including Mike Waltz, who will be appointed Trump’s national security adviser, and Elise Stefanik, nominated for ambassador to the United Nations. In 2018, Rubio co-sponsored the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act, which seeks to deny entry into the United States to any Chinese officials who prohibit US citizens from entering Tibet, a territory claimed by China. He has also introduced legislation sanctioning China for its repression of the minority Uyghur population and the crackdown on protests in Hong Kong. The Chinese government responded by blacklisting Rubio.
