China Calls Americans ‘Peasants’ As Trade War Erupts | Trump's Hong Kong Gambit Sparks Outrage
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?
National Guard troops rolled into Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening as President Trump’s aggressive anti-crime initiative officially kicked off. Armored personnel carriers were spotted near the Washington Monument, with federal forces gathering at key sites across the city. The deployment follows Trump’s dramatic invocation of a law allowing federal control of D.C.’s police force for 30 days. As over 1,300 federal personnel begin patrols, questions mount over the scope, legality, and impact of the operation.

President Trump has delayed a planned increase in tariffs on Chinese goods, easing U.S.–China trade tensions and extending the current truce. The decision, made just hours before the deadline, followed trade talks in Stockholm. On the streets of Shanghai, residents view the move as a pragmatic step toward avoiding economic harm. Many believe it signals a willingness to negotiate rather than escalate. Locals, including leasing worker Lin Peng and student Zhang Xuan, say cooperation could lead both nations toward stability and shared economic goals.

A ferocious rainstorm has brought Hong Kong to a near standstill, prompting the city to issue its highest “black” rainstorm warning. Torrential downpours turned iconic staircases into waterfalls and forced the closure of schools, courts, clinics, and portions of hospitals. Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just one hour as up to 90mm of rain per hour soaked the city and its surrounding tech hubs in Guangdong.
The airport remained open, but delays plagued flights, and travelers were urged to confirm schedules before leaving home. Macau issued a Red rain alert while Guangdong faced rising riverbanks and deadly flash floods. With four rivers at risk of overflowing and massive infrastructure like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge impacted, regional chaos threatens to intensify. Experts link the escalating deluge to climate change. Amid the chaos, Hong Kong Disneyland surprisingly remained open, continuing its scheduled “Friendtastic! Parade.”
