Beijing lashes out at JD Vance for comments about ‘Chinese peasants’

The US has imposed new tariffs on dozens of countries, including a 104% levy on Chinese goods, deepening a global trade war and causing Asian markets to slump.
Vice President JD Vance's remarks referring to Chinese workers as "peasants" have drawn criticism from China.
US consumers are stockpiling goods in anticipation of price rises due to the tariffs, reminiscent of Covid-era panic buying.
The UK has stated it will not alter its Online Safety Act as part of trade negotiations with the US.
China is reportedly considering banning Hollywood films in retaliation for the tariffs.
