US and China oppose militarization of Strait of Hormuz, Rubio says
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said in an interview with NBC News while in China that Washington and Beijing are aligned in opposing the militarization of the Strait of Hormuz and the introduction of a tolling system for passage through the strategic waterway.
"The Chinese side said they are not in favor of militarizing the Straits of Hormuz and they're not in favor of a tolling system, and that's our position... It's good that we have alliance, or at least agreement, on that point," Rubio said.
