Recently, Rubio was interviewed by Ivanka Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, on Fox News and said: "We must be able to interact with China, even to avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, we need to maintain relations with them. We seek to establish a relationship of mutual respect. But on issues where we have differences of opinion, we must always adhere to the American position."
When he said "establishing a relationship of mutual respect," it meant requiring China to unilaterally respect the US-dominated international order.
When he said "adhere to the American position," it meant legitimizing unilateral measures such as arms sales to Taiwan and technological blockades.
The so-called "mutual respect" is actually demanding China accept the rules of American hegemony. Its "issues of disagreement" all involve China's core interests (sovereignty, right to development), and its essence is refusing equal consultation.
