China criticizes JD Vance: He made ignorant and disrespectful comments

China criticized US Vice President JD Vance for referring to Chinese people as "peasants" in an interview that has sparked outrage in China. Asked about Vance's comments at a press conference on Tuesday, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said: "It is surprising and regrettable to hear this vice president make such ignorant and disrespectful comments."

Speaking on Fox News last Thursday, Vance defended President Donald Trump's tariffs for hitting the market and criticized the "global economy." "What has the global economy brought to the United States of America? And the answer is, it's based on two principles - taking on a huge amount of debt to buy things that other countries make for us. To make it a little clearer, we borrow money from Chinese farmers to buy the things that those Chinese farmers make," Vance said. (A2 Televizion)
