The recent remarks by American Vice President JD Vance about “Chinese farmers” have reacted intense in China. Vance made these comments during an interview with Fox News, defending President Donald Trump’s tariff and criticized the global economy. He said that the US borrows money from Chinese farmers to buy things of the construction of those Chinese farmers from Chinese farmers.
“What the global economy has achieved to the United States? And the answer is, fundamentally, it is based on two principles – a large amount of debt to buy things that other countries have created for us,” Wanes told the news show “Fox and Friends.
“To clarify this a little more crystal, we borrow money from Chinese farmers to buy things of the construction of those Chinese farmers.”
He said, “This is not a recipe for economic prosperity, it is not a recipe for low prices, and it is not a recipe for good jobs in the United States.”
The Chinese government strongly condemned Vance’s comments. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Gian expressed surprise at Vance’s comments. He said, “It is both surprising and mourn to listen to this vice -president.
Chinese social media platforms, especially on Weibo, are designed to compare between user Vance’s comments and their comments and their “hillbilie” backgrounds. A hashtag became the top trending theme on Vesce’s comments, with 140 million times. Many users indicated the irony of Vance’s comments, depicting their memoir “Hilbili Eligi”, seeing their own work-class up.
“This true ‘farmer’ who came out of rural America, seems to be a lack of perspective,” said Hu Zizin, former editor of the state’s Tabloid Global Times operated on Webo. “Many people are urging him to come and see China for himself.”
“We can be farmers, but we have the world’s best high -speed rail system, the most powerful logistics capabilities, and AI, autonomous driving and drone technologies. Is such farmers not quite effective?” According to CNN, a Weibo user posted.
“Look, this is his real face – arrogant and rude as always,” another comment said.
This exchange comes when Donald Trump has followed his threat to “additional 50 percent tariff” on China starting on Wednesday. The White House announced that it would make America’s new tariff unprecedented 104 percent on China.
President Trump gave China back to Roll to China or to “take” 34 percent of the tariffs imposed on American goods, when failed, which Chinese goods would be punished with 104 percent tariffs. Beijing dared Washington to do so today. Donald Trump announced this within a few hours.
