00:00China has denounced U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance's rhetoric as ignorant after he said the United States was borrowing money from Chinese peasants in a television interview last week.
00:15Vance made the remarks while defending President Donald Trump's tariffs on Fox News.
00:19To make it a little bit more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture. That is not a recipe for economic prosperity. It's not a recipe for low prices. And it's not a recipe for good jobs in the United States of America.
00:34China has refused to bow to what it called blackmail and vowed to fight to the end after Trump threatened to ratchet up tariffs to 104 percent.
01:00In response to China's decision to match reciprocal duties Trump announced last week, Trump said on Tuesday that he is waiting to hear from China before the tariffs take effect.
01:10But other administration officials said they would not prioritize negotiations with the world's number two economic power.
