CHINA BOLD STATEMENT ON THE US

Tensions between China and the United States flare up again as Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian labels the U.S. as "the most racist country in the world." The statement, delivered during a heated press briefing, criticized America's domestic racial issues and alleged hypocrisy in its foreign policy stances on human rights.

In a sharp and immediate response, former U.S. President Donald Trump slammed the remarks, calling them “a desperate distraction from China’s own human rights atrocities” and accused Beijing of spreading propaganda to deflect global criticism.

This video breaks down the full context of Zhao’s statement, the Chinese government’s ongoing campaign to counter U.S. criticisms over Hong Kong and Xinjiang, and Trump's fiery rebuttal. Experts weigh in on what this escalating war of words means for U.S.-China relations.
