China hits back at trump’s tariffs, urges world to isolate us with bombastic ai-generated propaganda video that depicts decaying america

China’s Communist Party on Tuesday released a bombastic propaganda video in which it vowed “never to kneel down” in President Trump’s tariff war. Beijing also tried to coax the rest of the

world to stand with it against the United States. The dramatic clip — blasted out by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on X and amplified by the country’s troves of propagandists on social media

— accused the Trump administration of bullying tactics and insisted China would not negotiate after Trump hit Chinese exports with massive tariffs. “China won’t back down so the voices of

the weak will be heard,” an English voice-over declared in the video, which appeared to be at least partially AI generated. “When the rest of the world stands together in solidarity, the US

is just a small stranded boat. “Someone has to step forward, torch in hand, to shatter the fog and illuminate the path ahead. “Bowing to a bully is like drinking poison to quench a thirst,”

Beijing said. EXPLORE MORE The propaganda clip, which included footage of the Statue of Liberty, compared the countries’ raging tariff war to the “deadly trap” that is the eye of a storm –

and argued the “US does not represent the entire world. “The US has stirred up a global tariff storm and deliberately targeted China, playing a 90-day-pause game with other nations, forcing

them to limit trades. To China, this is just like the deadly trap of the eye of the storm,” the video charged. “China won’t kneel down, because we know standing up for ourselves keeps the

possibility of cooperation alive, while compromise snuffs it out. “History has proven compromise won’t earn you mercy — kneeling only invites more bullying,” the video continued. “For China,

for the world, we must rise and fight on.”  The clip marks Beijing’s latest response to the ongoing trade war that kicked off when Trump raised US levies on Chinese imports to 145% China

quickly retaliated by slapping retaliatory duties of 125% on US goods. The propaganda clip was pushed out as scores of anti-American videos started going viral on Chinese-owned TikTok —

ridiculing US infrastructure in comparison to China. One video, shared by user Schbachlq, mocked New York City’s subway system with footage of water cascading from the ceiling of Brooklyn’s

Jefferson Street station, as well as burst pipes at Manhattan’s 34th Street stop. Scores of rats also could be seen hauling food and trash as they scurried around underground. The clip —

which noted the US was a “developed country” — then quickly cut to footage of pristine transit hubs across a “developing” China. The footage — viewed more than 2.5 million times — bragged of

air trains zooming through Wuhan and a pearly white subway station in Shenzen. “Where does America’s money go?” the video was captioned, comparing the two countries’ GDPs. Another clip

stated, “Do you know how much China used to admire the US. “They saw America as a mentor and tried to learn everything from it.”
