They are so laughably bad at this stong man act. They talk politics like either a particularly stupid playground bully or a guffawing British colonial moron from the time of the empire.

Also, I suppose it would help if your opponents found you even the least bit intimidating

Poor man's idea of a rich man,

Stupid man's idea of a smart man,

Weak man's idea of a strong man,

Coward's idea of a brave man,

And a moronic voter's idea of a President (or Vice-president in this case).

Does he have to be an asshole to everybody? Even the way he speaks is like he talks down to people, it's just so cringe.

There goes the already remotely slim chance of any tariff negotiations. There is now a negative chance of China giving in.

Does anyone believe he does not see American citizens as peasants, too?

Those “peasants” are going to weather a tariff war far better than the “peasants” in the United States who are not used to the hardship and scarcity that will result.

One of the most frustrating things about the current US administration, is I keep having to side with China. wtf is going on when we can no longer even get together to hate on an external trading partner? When the enemies are not at the gate but in the keep? When I have to agree with actions to punish my own country as well earned and expected?

JD Vance is such a little bitch.

Rising tensions with China? I was told that's what the Democrats were going to do if they won. 🤷‍♂️

Beyond him being an idiot and a racist and evil, who the fuck talks like this?

He called the UK and France "random countries" when dismissing their importance to mutual security agreements.

He talks like a 4chan dipshit. Which he probably was. Even if he is completely blocked from power for the next four years, just having this moron one heartbeat away from the Presidency has done truly horrific damage to the respect and prestige of the Office.

If by some miracle Trump steps back from the tariffs and the concentration camps and the blatant authoritarianism and the wholesale destruction of the federal government, the damage to America as an idea is something that none of us will live to see undone.

...I hate laughing at the downfall of my own country, but we definitely had it coming. I guess Chinese is the new lingua franca. Anyway, can someone help me understand why "Ma" in Mandarin means both weed and mom? How do I buy weed in Beijing?

Big talk from hillbilly white trash.

That's fresh, coming from a guy that thinks getting a couch pregnant is the only way to repopulate IKEA's inventory.

Don't take it personally, China. He feels the same way about the majority of Americans including his own family. He's got a chip on his shoulder bc he grew up among the peasant class, made it to the Ivy Leagues and has desperately been trying to claw his way into a social level he'll never be accepted to bc he wasn't born into it.

From his POV you're either a peasant, or you're an elitist. Unless you're part of the 1% of billionaires and generational wealth. Somehow that makes you an average Joe, and that's why you benefit the most from Vance's policies and "beliefs" (whatever he may need them to be in the moment).

Vance is not dumb, but he certainly acts like a useful idiot.

I knew a girl from China and this is a huge insult to them. Being seen or labeled as rural is very embarrassing in their culture. She was ashamed because she grew up on her uncle's pig farm.

At some point, The Onion is going to have to close up shop. Because the absurdity of reality goes way beyond any satire they could dream up.

Wonder how my friend who's a Chinese immigrant who supports Trump and wanted to move to Singapore if Kamala won, feels about this.

Fuck that racist asshat clown.

There are plenty of things wrong with China and they couldn't find one. These guys make tween student councils look advanced.

"China lashes out"

Did they also "slam" home the fact that this is quite literally a world leader directly insulting the people of their closest rival? The bad news writing mixing with clown world politics is why all this seems so unreal to people, we are talking about a collapse of global world order but this reads like a TMZ piece.

We can hardly judge China on its human rights abuses anymore. We are becoming the "shithole" country.

We owe Japan more than China, but the narrative we owe China sooo much comes from 20 years ago when they were our largest FOREIGN debtor. They were never clear about it and people thought we owed all the money to China. The US government's largest single debtor is the US government. It's too hard to wrap their mind around. The largest collective debtor is the public. Over 20 trillion of the debt is owed to the US public. This includes wealthy business entities, and individuals. China owns less than 5 percent of that, at under 1 trillion. Booga booga booga

Maybe it's high time the Chinese "peasants" and US "wage slaves" did a little something something.

Yeah, that's sounds like the kind of thing a wormy, little sleazy fuck like Vance would say .

Coming from the hick from Appalachia.
