A chinese tiktok video depicts a dystopian america under Trump’s tariff policies
On social media, a user, who goes by @Benlau shared a video on Tikotk to mocks trump tariffs
An AI-generated video, posted by Chinese TikTok user shows an exaggerated version of life in America supposedly caused by Trump’s tariff.
The 32-second clip depicts obese, tired American workers performing low-skill factory jobs while somber Chinese music plays in the background.
The video mocks Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, implying that his tariff strategies have backfired.
It ends by zooming in on the MAGA slogan as a final jab.
The imagery draws heavily on American stereotypes, showcasing a workforce overwhelmed by manual labor in grim conditions.
The message is clear: if the U.S. brings back low-cost manufacturing jobs, it will result in economic decline rather than revival.
Online reaction to the viral ai video includes harsh criticism and biting sarcasm
The video quickly went viral and spread across platforms, gaining attention among viewers after it was reposted on X.
In the comment selection, reactions ranged from outrage to bitter agreement.
Comments came from both Chinese nationals and American users critical of the Trump administration’s trade strategy. Many argued the video, though offensive, reflects anxieties around economic decline and misdirected trade policies.
One person said: The Bully has been bullied
A second wrote: He will like it worse as now china can copy american products to scale
While a third commented: I dont think you could compare the US with China!!! They import lots more to us than we do to them. Im sick of their cheap junk.
Another added: Oh my are you people missing the point… this IS how the rest of the world sees us, especially China
Someone else said: He won’t care. Look at whose doing it. Actors. No one worthy of caring about since they don’t live here and are probably doing it so they aren’t targeted by communism.
Chinese goods hit with 104% tariffs as Trump intensifies global trade tensions
The video was shared as Chinese goods were hit with 104% tariffs, while Trump intensified global trade tensions.
Starting Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. ET, the U.S. will raise tariffs on Chinese goods to an effective rate of 104%.
This increase combines a 50% new tariff with 34% in reciprocal duties previously imposed. The move reflects worsening U.S.-China trade tensions.The White House says China “made a mistake” by responding to earlier U.S. tariffs. Trump’s team is pushing back hard.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the administration would “fight to the end” to protect U.S. interests.
While the video is intentionally provocative, it taps into a serious debate:
Can America realistically revive its manufacturing base through tariffs alone?
While. critics argue that Trump’s policies ignore the complexity of modern global supply chains.
