Letter from Gerry Welch

Comment Was Uncalled For

I find this comment by Vice President Vance to be incorrigible: “To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”

The Chinese are a hard-working, disciplined people that deserve respect. Insults have no place in genuine diplomacy. Our deficit spending is the problem, not Chinese workers.
