Rubio to Accuse China of Cheating, Reject 'Liberal World Order' at Confirmation Hearing
Jan 15, 2025, 11:01 AM
Senator Marco Rubio, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, is set to deliver a significant statement at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday at 9:30 am ET. According to prepared remarks, Rubio will accuse China of lying and cheating its way to superpower status at the expense of the United States, through actions such as cyber intrusions and theft of technology. He will reject the 'liberal world order' long cherished by the U.S. elite and advocate for a new foreign policy that places U.S. interests 'above all else'. Rubio, known as a China hawk, is expected to face questioning from senators about Trump's foreign policy goals. Despite this, he has broad support in the Senate, with several Democrats, including Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, expressing their intention to vote for his confirmation.
