A top Chinese official has blasted President Trump’s Hong Kong tariffs, calling them “arrogant and shameless.” Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, further mocked the U.S. by referring to Americans as “peasants,” warning of a backlash against Trump’s trade war tactics. The insult follows a heated exchange after U.S. VP J.D. Vance’s earlier comment on China. As tensions rise, both countries have unleashed new tariffs, escalating the economic war with global consequences. Will diplomacy return—or will this spiral into chaos?
