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.

    You’re absolutely laughable

    From a communist.

    as I said I disengaged with you already

    That’s called a paradox.

    I’m the only one who provided source information instead of “vibes-based” analysis.

    You are not. There’s information and there’s confirmation. There’s data and there are checksums.

    I noticed already, hence me disengaging.

    Since you haven’t yet done that, this should probably have some deep meaning.
