US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly travelled to Beijing under a modified name during Donald Trump's China visit. Rubio has been banned by China since 2020 over his allegations regarding the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. AFP reported that Chinese authorities allowed him entry through a diplomatic workaround by changing his surname to 'Lu.' The bizarre episode has sparked global attention as Trump and Xi Jinping hold critical talks in Beijing. Rubio's past accusations against the Chinese Communist Party remain one of the biggest flashpoints in US-China relations.
