In the letter, dated Sept. 18, Republican senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio told the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) that China could leverage its way into the project to wage campaigns of espionage and geopolitical coercion . Beijing recently imposed symbolic sanctions on both Cruz and Rubio.
