Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tweeted Wednesday. Rubio was responding to reports that China ‘has shifted the balance of power in the Pacific’ by assembling and modernizing a fleet capable of going toe-to-toe with the United States the Indo-Pacific. China’s emergence as a major naval power punctuates the growing U.S. consensus that the Communist regime poses a worldwide strategic threat to the United States.”
