China went on X to let the world know it doesn't back down, and it posted a video of Mao with the claim.
Mao.
Yeah, we can't even make this level of 'not reading the room' up. What, did they really think posting Mao would somehow intimidate America? Intimidate Trump?
China PLEASE.
Take a look:

Oh, and then the Chinese Embassy in the US joined in:
🇨🇳We don’t back down. https://t.co/p1Nmun8csv

We heard you the first time.
And about that.

You all can guess how this went over, BUT why not take a look as well?
People inside China can’t see this tweet. https://t.co/pLRfHwgHed

The irony. They're being super tough and their own people can't even see it.
Your country is made of cardboard and corruption. You won’t back down, you will fall down, much like your buildings during a 1.0 earthquake. https://t.co/CIzbznqJKI

Oof.
You spent half of the 20th century getting your butt kicked until we came to help and then spent the second half murdering 60 million of your own people.

Maybe calm down a bit. https://t.co/RxZW3F2AUy
A government with Mao Zedong as their idol does not deserve to have trade relations with the United States. https://t.co/ieYEKqV0hX

Mao killed more human being than any single other human on the planet. He killed more of his own people than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot combined. https://t.co/8u0QxwdIWs

Get rid of the great firewall.
We double-dog dare them.
This is like Germany posting old Hitler videos.

It's both creepy and bizarre.
Americans can point and laugh at anything ... and we absolutely did here.
