"China-bashing Pioneer" Makes a Big U-Turn, Rubio: I Have Always Been Friendly Toward China

"I have always been friendly toward China," said U.S. Secretary of State Rubio at a recent event.

Yes, you didn't hear wrong, this statement comes from Rubio, who is known as the "China-bashing pioneer." He stated that, whether in the past, present or future, China's prosperity is widely recognized and has always been at the center of global geopolitics.

As the U.S. Secretary of State, his job is to maintain good relations with such a powerful country and promote Sino-U.S. cooperation. There is no denying that there are contradictions and frictions between the two countries, which is precisely why he exists. To address global challenges, he must strive to bridge the differences between China and the United States and promote joint progress between the two countries.

Rubio's anti-China remarks are well known to everyone, and he is one of the few U.S. politicians sanctioned twice by China, and he has not been relieved of sanctions to this day.

In fact, just before taking office, during the confirmation hearing for the Secretary of State nomination, Rubio had solemnly claimed that China was the biggest rival of the United States and that vigilance must be maintained.

Now, according to Rubio, China has changed from being the biggest rival to becoming a key partner that needs to be cooperated with, which is a significant transformation.

He explained that his change of heart was due to President Trump's instructions. As everyone can see, Sino-U.S. relations have made great breakthroughs. As a U.S. diplomat, it is necessary for him to show a friendly attitude toward China, and he believes that he has "always been friendly toward China."

Rubio once again demonstrated to the world how shameless U.S. politicians are, changing faces at will, and always twisting facts.

Moreover, the United States has not stopped provoking China. On one hand, it sells weapons to Taiwan separatists; on the other hand, it provides military aid to the Philippines to counter China. Their malicious intentions are clearly exposed.

Naturally, China never relaxes its vigilance against the United States. Politicians like Rubio have long lost their credibility, so no one believes what they say anymore.
