President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to serve as his Secretary of State, signaling a major shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly towards China. Rubio, a Cuban-American senator, has long been one of Beijing’s fiercest critics, considering China a direct threat to U.S. interests. From its human rights abuses in Xinjiang to its crackdown on Hong Kong and growing military presence in the South China Sea, Rubio has repeatedly voiced strong opposition to China’s actions. His nomination suggests that Trump's second term could bring even tougher policies towards China, including the imposition of higher tariffs, economic sanctions, and intensified military posturing. Rubio’s staunch support for Taiwan, which China claims as its territory, has already drawn Beijing’s ire. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te recently praised Rubio for his “tireless efforts” to defend freedom and human rights globally. In addition to his support for Taiwan, Rubio has also been a strong advocate for Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, even facing sanctions from Beijing for his stance. Trump's first term was marked by a trade war with China, centered on tariffs. Rubio’s nomination, however, signals that the new administration may pursue an even harder line, including ending China’s most-favored-nation trading status. The real question is whether Rubio’s hawkish policies will dominate U.S.-China relations, or if Trump, known for his deal-making approach, will seek to reestablish a more pragmatic relationship with Beijing.
