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.

    Does he have to be an asshole to everybody? Even the way he speaks is like he talks down to people, it’s just so cringe.

      I honestly despise Vance so much, even more so than Trump. He’s such a vile, spineless, cunt of a man that makes me want to punch him whenever he opens his mouth.
