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.

    I mean he was an asshole to his mum, wife and kids. (His mum is Appalachian American and in his book he said all Appalachian Americans are drug addicts. His wife is of Indian descent and so are his kids. He still defended the doge douche who was racist towards Indians.). So he pretty much has no assholeness filter and know no boundries.

      Yeah he is unfiltered white trash he has no creed, ethnicity, or kin. He technically has a race but only by the American standards, anywhere else and he’s lacking even that.

        he was brought out of obscurity by THIEL, to be nothing more than his puppet to push his agenda.

          Thiel needs to get his money back then because I’m pretty sure Vance is a charisma void who would struggle to inflict his will onto a ham sandwich.
