These satirical posts, amplified by Chinese media and government officials, mock the “Make America Great Again” slogan of Trump by portraying the possible consequences of their trade policies. They suggest that tariffs may give rise to high prices for domesticly produced goods or imported under the new 125% tariff rate.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning has criticized the American tariff, stating, “We are Chinese. We are not afraid of provoking. We do not come back.”
Trictok, X and other platforms have been widely shared, trolling videos and memes are widely shared.
Meanwhile, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wonto told the head of the World Trade Organization that American tariffs would “cause serious damage” to poor countries.
“These US ‘mutual tariffs’ will cause serious damage to developing countries, especially at least developed countries, and even trigger a humanitarian crisis,” Wang told WATO chief Nogoji Okonzo-Evella in a call on Friday, and can even trigger a humanitarian crisis. “
Wang said, “The United States has continuously introduced tariff measures, bringing huge uncertainty and instability in the world, causing chaos in both international and domestic within the US.”
Beijing said on Friday that 125 percent of its tariffs on American goods will be effective on Saturday – Matching 145 percent levy imposed by Washington on almost the United States of Chinese goods.
But China indicated that it would ignore the levy by US President Donald Trump because, Beijing said, it no longer understands economic understanding for importers to buy from the US. China also said that it would file a case with the WTO in the latest round of Levi.
