China alters transliteration of Secretary of State Rubio's name to allow him to attend summit with Trump despite sanctions
China allowed U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to enter the country for a summit with President Trump by changing the transliteration of his surname in official documents from 'Rubio' to 'Lu,' circumventing sanctions. The move, reported by Al Jazeera, came as Beijing signaled willingness to ease sanctions on Rubio, who was penalized in 2020 for criticizing China's crackdown in Hong Kong and policies in Xinjiang.
