In fresh days, CGTN (China Global tv Network) — Chinese state tv — aired a video that rapidly became a viral virulent. It shows a female sitting at the kitchen table and looking at an empty plate while Donald Trump announces his “Day of Liberation” — and imposes duties on a number of countries worldwide.
The female in the material is generated by artificial intelligence, as is the voice that makes the ironic comment: “You gotta pay as much as you pay for the kidney for the gasoline as you pay for the lung.” "Customs destroyed our inexpensive Chinese cars".
Using this material, its authors mocked the duties imposed by the Trump administration on Chinese goods, claiming that they led to price increases and economical instability, but in the US.
The video message is clear — it was generated by artificial intelligence. However, the debt crisis is 100% man-made.
"You taxed all truck, you taxed all tire. The Midwest burns in your fire of garbage,” she continues singing a voice in the material.
It's not the only material with that kind of tone. On 4 April, the Chinese news agency Xinhua published on X a short, several-minute "sci-fi thriller" — as she described it — called "T.A.R.I.F.F." It depicts the humanoid embodying Trump's duties, which at any point refuses to follow the orders of its creator and is self-destructive. This is simply a proposition that advanced work policy It inevitably leads to economical chaos.
On 7 April, on the same website, she published an entry in which she stated that Trump would most harm its own citizens. "Customs primarily harm Americans. Families pay more at the register. Farmers lose global buyers. Factory's closed. Jobs are disappearing. The real price is not on paper. She is in all house," she wrote.
Beijing's consequence to Customs
The duties announced by Donald Trump not only caused global financial marketplace turmoil, but besides resumed trade tensions between the 2 world's largest economies. Beijing's reaction didn't take long. The U.S. President's decision called it "non-compliance with global trade rules" and "seriously" undermining Chinese interests. He besides stated that it threatened "global economical improvement and the stableness of the production and supply chain".
As reported by the Xinuh news agency, the Chinese Ministry of Finance called on Washington to “immediately cancel unilateral tariff measures”. due to the fact that it did, Beijing responded in retaliation — announced that As of 10 April, they will impose duties of 34 %. all imports from the United States.
Economists inform that this policy can increase the hazard of recession in the US — American consumers already see its effects on store shelves in the form of higher product prices. Chinese films exploit these fears and effort to turn them into digital propaganda weapons.
