Washingrton Times:

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio says Chinese President Xi Xingping is an “authoritarian ruler” and that President Obama should downgrade the Chinese leader’s upcoming Washington trip to a “working visit,” not role out the red carpet for him.

 

“This is an opportunity to speak bluntly to this authoritarian ruler and achieve meaningful progress, not to treat him to a state dinner,” Mr. Rubio wrote in op-ed published Friday by The Wall Street Journal, in which the Florida Republican outlined how he would approach China if elected president.
