How China changed Rubio name to let him join Trump summit despite sanctions

The state secretary, who is under Chinese sanctions, is on a state visit to Beijing under the name ‘Marco Lu’.

How did United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio enter China despite being under sanctions by Beijing?

Well, this became possible thanks to a linguistic workaround and diplomatic protocol by China, which had sanctioned Rubio twice when he was still a senator.

Rubio accompanied US President Donald Trump on his first trip to China after Beijing changed the transliteration of Rubio’s name.
