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.

What’s wild is this current admin just kind of solidifies the image of American culture that people have been in denial of accepting. Everyone saw it but they just kept consuming and living in their own bubbles.
Nobody ever thought highly of American culture, and I know racist fuckwads like these don’t represent all Americans, but to outsiders they do. America’s economy output was the only thing people liked about this country and the reason people immigrated here, you fuck with the money like this, then what’s left of the country?
America would have to have a good reputation prior to trump for your point to stand. Think about why your life was so easy before. How many people had their lives made harder so you could have your easy life? America itself is an overvalued stock.
