Beijing against Rubio, 'unprovoked attacks against China'

Spokesperson, ‘stop smear campaigns against Beijing’

Beijing has criticized the “unjustified attacks” of Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Marco Rubio, who condemned and described China as “dangerous” during a confirmation hearing in the US Senate. “The US side must establish a correct understanding of China, stop unjustified attacks and smear campaigns against China,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun commented at the daily briefing.
