"A Terrible Mistake": Marco Rubio Warns China Against Taiwan Invasion in Beijing

BEIJING — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat down with NBC News' Tom Llamas in Beijing to reveal critical details from the closed-door negotiations at the 2026 US-China Summit. Addressing the ongoing Middle East crisis, Rubio stated that Washington and Beijing have found common ground: China opposes Iran's militarization of the Strait of Hormuz, rejects an Iranian tolling system, and agrees Tehran must not obtain a nuclear weapon. Shifting to the Indo-Pacific, Rubio pushed back against Chinese President Xi Jinping's harsh warnings regarding Taiwan, asserting that U.S. policy remains unchanged and calling any attempt at forced reunification a "terrible mistake" with global repercussions. Rubio also highlighted China's unprecedented, multi-billion-dollar naval and military expansion.
