Peter Lewis: Asia Business correspondent on Marco Rubio nomination to be Secretary of State and Beijing prepares powerful countermeasures in anticipation of Trump's comeback

  • Resumen

  • Trump has nominated Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State.

    Rubio, an Iran and China hawk who serves on the Senate foreign relations committee, would become one of the most prominent members of Trump’s foreign policy team if confirmed by the Senate next year. He would be the first sitting secretary of state to have been sanctioned by Beijing, meaning he cannot visit China. Rubio sponsored a bill trying to prevent the import of goods made by China’s ethnic Uyghur minority, which Biden later signed into law.

    Meanwhile, Beijing has prepared powerful countermeasures to retaliate against US companies if president-elect Donald Trump reignites a smouldering trade war between the world’s two biggest economies.
