China Attacks Donald Trump: ‘Resist the Tyrant – We Will Not Kneel’

In a highly charged attack on the American President, China posted a video on X (formerly Twitter), calling on the international community to resist the ‘tyrant’ of the USA and declaring ‘China will not kneel.’ ‘Bowing to a tyrant is like drinking poison to quench your thirst, it only worsens the crisis,’ the video states regarding Donald Trump. The narration is in English with Chinese subtitles. ‘History has proven that compromise does not secure mercy; kneeling invites more bullying. China will not kneel.’ The video recounts a ‘history lesson’ about what China perceives as American economic aggression, referencing companies like Toshiba and Alstom, which were allegedly forced into breakups, financial crises, and bankruptcies, leading Japan’s economy into ‘decades of anemic growth.’ In contrast, China portrays itself as a ‘paradise of free trade’ where other countries can invest and collaborate safely. ‘China will remain steadfast, no matter how strong the winds blow,’ the video asserts. The message targets Trump’s administration amid escalating trade tensions and calls for action from other nations. China urges every country to ‘stand up straight’ to ‘break down the walls of hegemony.’ The core message: America is untrustworthy. The video labels the US a ‘paper tiger,’ noting that its imports and exports constitute less than one-fifth of global trade and do not represent the entire world. ‘When the rest of the world stands united, the US will be just a small, isolated boat,’ concludes the video. Although it doesn’t directly mention the 145% tariffs imposed by Trump’s administration on Chinese imports or China’s retaliatory 125% tariffs, the social media release coincides with China’s apparent willingness to ease tensions from Trump’s side.
