China imposed sanctions on Marco Rubio in 2020 during his tenure as a senator owing to his staunch anti China stance.
However, today Rubio met with Xi Jinping as part of the US delegation in Beijing. How is this possible? One possibility put forth by Chinese netizens is the realization of a peculiar edit.
Rubio's official name in China has been changed to bypass sanctions. The pronunciation is the same Lu Bi'Ao, and even the tones are the same when actually spoken - but the characters themselves have changed.
From 卢比奥 to 鲁比奥.
