Mayor Bloomberg blasted Congress and Americans looking to blame their problems on China, during a visit to Hong Kong yesterday.

American lawmakers know bupkis about the Asian giant — and could set off a trade war, Bloomberg ranted.

“If you look at the US, you look at who we’re electing to Congress, to the Senate — they can’t read,” he said.

“I’ll bet you a bunch of these people don’t have passports. We’re about to start a trade war with China if we’re not careful here, only because nobody knows where China is, ” Bloomberg said.

The mayor’s criticism extended to average Americans, who he said were too quick to blame the Chinese for their own difficulties.

“We’ve got to stop blaming the Chinese and blaming everybody else, and take a look at ourselves,” Bloomberg said.
