China Calls Vance Ignorant Over Peasant Remark
US Vice President JD Vance’s statement that the US borrows money from “Chinese peasants” to purchase Chinese goods has drawn sharp criticism from China’s foreign ministry, who labeled the remark “ignorant and impolite.” This comment follows escalating trade tensions between the US and China, fueled by President Trump’s threat of additional tariffs on Chinese imports. China has vowed to resist these actions, which economists warn could severely disrupt global markets and trigger a recession. Vance’s statement also sparked outrage on Chinese social media.
