This is another RedNote moment. The viral rise of Chinese factory influencers on TikTok isn't just breaking through Washington's absurd tariffs — it's forging a surprising unity between Chinese producers and American consumers.
With a cheerful "Hello, boss!" and the slogan "Cheap and direct from the source," they're encouraging Americans to skip the middlemen and buy straight from the factory floor.
The harder US elites try to paint China as the enemy, the more they expose the truth — China isn't some distant threat. It's part of everyday American life.
