EXPLAINED: How Is Sanctioned Marco Rubio Travelling To China With Trump

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Beijing alongside President Donald Trump despite being under Chinese sanctions imposed in 2020 over his criticism of Beijing’s policies on Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Reports suggest China quietly changed the Chinese transliteration of Rubio’s surname before he took office, creating a diplomatic workaround that allowed Beijing to host the US secretary of state without formally lifting sanctions. The development comes ahead of high-stakes talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on trade, Taiwan, AI competition and regional security. Rubio also drew attention aboard Air Force One after appearing in the same Nike “Venezuela” tracksuit linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro during his capture earlier this year.
