China has condemned Vice President JD Vance as "ignorant and impolite" after Vance referred to the U.S. borrowing money from "Chinese peasants."
"China's position on China-US economic and trade relations has been made very clear," foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said, adding, "It is surprising and sad to hear such ignorant and impolite words from this vice president."
