Summary
China condemned JD Vance on Tuesday for calling Chinese people “peasants” in a Fox News interview, where he said, “To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry labeled the remarks “ignorant and disrespectful.”
The backlash exploded on Chinese social media, garnering 140 million Weibo views.
Critics mocked Vance’s own “hillbilly” background and pointed to China’s advanced tech and infrastructure, highlighting rising tensions amid Trump’s trade war.
There goes the already remotely slim chance of any tariff negotiations. There is now a negative chance of China giving in.
Yep. China is not gonna lose face by negotiating. They’re gonna go all in to fuck the US over now.
In over 50 years, I have never seen a worst accounting of ourselves.
Our leaders, elected officials, are absolutely corrupt, inept, and eaten up with greed . They are diseased in their souls.
They need to be jailed , now.
It’s an excellent accounting by the person running the country. It’s going better than planned.
