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.
Ehhhhhhh…
I don’t disagree that the “western hemisphere” is a corrupt, increasingly fascist, capitalist hellhole…
China aren’t known for their stellar human rights record either. Uyghurs, Tibetans, anyone that jokes about Winnie the Pooh’s lookalike, etc.
Let’s not pretend either side is righteous here, every single one of us is getting fucked, it’s just a matter of degree and direction.
Made-up genocide propaganda by the west
Made-up oppositional movement by the west after China quite literally liberated the Tibetan PEASANT SERFS from feudal slavery. The “Tibetan government in exile” is a modern invention that amounts to taking the grandchildren of Marie Antoinette and claiming them as the rightful government of France. There are fewer nationalist and independentist tensions in Tibet than there are in Catalunya, Quebec, or Wales.
Racist trope
