Chinese factories are creating social media videos on TikTok urging consumers to buy directly from them to avoid Trump’s tariffs. The videos claim to offer popular fashion items like Lululemon and Louis Vuitton at significantly lower prices, with some even claiming they can sell yoga pants for £4.55 compared to the usual US price of $100. However, shoppers are warned that these may be counterfeit products. Meanwhile, China has retaliated against Trump's tariffs by halting shipments of rare earth metals, critical to various industries, and Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Vietnam to join forces in upholding free trade, which Trump claims is aimed at "screwing" the US.
