China Creates Video Mocking American Workers as Tariffs Begin To CRUSH

April 10, 2025

Communist China responded to President Donald Trump’s tariffs by mocking Americans in AI-generated videos shared on social media.

Trump has imposed massive reciprocal tariffs on China, arguing that the communist country has long been taking advantage of the United States and has been cheating the market. In response, China increased their tariffs on the U.S. — while other countries that faced tariffs have rushed to the negotiating table with the Trump administration. Trump then announced a 125% tariff on China in retaliation for being “disrespectful,” while at the same time pausing tariffs on other countries that were willing to negotiate better trade deals.

Now, China is mocking Americans on social media because of the tariffs and because of Trump’s plans to return manufacturing to the U.S. to give Americans more job opportunities.

The mockery came in the form of AI-generated videos that show morbidly obese Americans working in warehouses and factories:

The videos quickly went viral on social media, with leftists sharing them while trying to mock the Trump administration — though it ended up backfiring on them, as many pointed out how elitist the left looks when they mock working-class people and highlighted the fact that they were sharing Chinese propaganda.

This news came as Trump continued to slam China on social media for refusing to negotiate better trade agreements, as China has been tariffing the U.S. for decades, but is now outraged that the Trump administration would dare give them a taste of their own medicine.

“Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.
