Rubio once again changed his face! When dealing with China, Rubio is unwilling to discard the anti-China label attached to himself! Just after holding a meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Rubio turned around. On February 23, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio announced the appointment of Assistant Secretary of State Barnes as the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Affairs. Rubio stated that the United States will continue to be committed to supporting the inalienable rights of the Tibetan people, as well as their unique culture, language, and religious heritage.

As soon as he received the appointment, Barnes claimed that the United States will continue to call on China to engage in unconditional direct dialogue with the Dalai Lama and his representatives, as well as with the "elected Tibetan leader," to resolve differences and achieve real "autonomy" for the Tibetans. It is evident that the issue of Tibet is purely an internal affair of China, but just after our foreign minister-level meeting, Rubio made this announcement. What does this action by Rubio indicate?

This fully indicates that, first, despite our strong opposition, the United States still intends to interfere in our internal affairs, exert pressure on us, and create political leverage. Second, it shows that although Rubio has changed his past radical stance toward China, he still wants to maintain his hawkish image toward China. The so-called "genuine autonomy" mentioned by the United States is essentially a sinister political calculation.

The so-called "elected Tibetan leader" is a complete fallacy. Tibet is an inseparable part of China's territory, there is no independent "Tibetan state," and naturally, there can be no so-called "Tibetan leader." Supporting Tibetan independence is equivalent to splitting China's territory, and such behavior we will never accept. Given Rubios malicious actions, we certainly will not remove him from the sanctions list.
