Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. The Chinese people do not cause trouble, nor are they afraid of trouble. Pressure, threats and blackmail are not the right way to deal with China.

This from one of their party higher-ups in Hong Kong.

He was responding to this quote from J.D. Vance:

“To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.” Asked about Vance’s comments at a regular news briefing Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said: “It’s both astonishing and lamentable to hear this vice president make such ignorant and disrespectful remarks.”

If our top officials eschew diplomatic niceties, we can hardly be surprised when other countries do the same in response.
