CBS News sent a correspondent to a manufacturing fair in China to file a report on how President Trump’s tariffs are “punishing” people in China for “being good” at exporting cheap slave labour produced goods and undercutting industry in America.
Yes, really. They really did that.
The reporter, Anna Coren, went to the Canton Manufacturing Fair in Guangzhou, China to hear from Chinese people who described Trump’s tariffs as “unfair.”
Are Trump's tariffs just punishing China for being good at what it does? https://t.co/EvtJxd14aJ

The article states:
Richard Qiu told CBS News it’s simply unfair. Wearing a pale blue Ralph Lauren shirt, the businessman invited CBS News to sit down in his display booth at the Canton Fair for a chat. Surrounded by thousands of small fabric gift bags designed for everything from Christmas to Easter to birthdays, the fact that Qiu even quickly agreed to an interview was disarming; Every other Chinese businessperson we approached turned our camera away, wary of speaking with foreign media.
Oh my God, he’s selling cute gift bags and he’s sad now. Maybe the tariffs should be called off.
In a tone the CCP would be proud of, the CBS report continues…
His openness and warmth indicated a sense of ease with Westerners, and more importantly, his desire to tell his story about how external forces, completely out of his control, were affecting him and his livelihood.
Qiu’s Liaoning Perfect Import/Export Co. Ltd has been making gift bags for 20 years, and he has fostered strong relationships with his U.S. customers, who, in recent years, have made up 30-40% of his exports. He’s traveled to the U.S. at least six times and says he loves the country: “It’s about freedom, democracy, it’s open and fair.”
“But this isn’t fair,” he said of the trade war sparked by President Trump’s steep tariffs. “It makes me feel sick about the U.S. now.”

But they’re so good at making cheap tat.
If by being good at what it does you mean “using slave labor,” then I guess you have a point? https://t.co/DJpQ2viT6E

CBS: Somebody has to be good at sweatshops.

What else are they good at?
China’s just really good at stealing our IP, paying slave wages to its factory workers, using government financial support to prop up its companies and trans-shipping its goods to evade global tariffs and sanctions. Oh and it’s awesome at fentanyl. What’s the big deal? https://t.co/NBO5CfhSIR

It’s so unfair of Americans to want things made in their country.

Imagine being an American media company actively cheerleading for the economic downfall of the country.
Dear lord, CBS. How far have you fallen? China is good at currency manipulation, industrial espionage, and slave labor. Do you support those things over the well being of the American people?https://t.co/nh78do6epV

As Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk pointed out last week, “the media’s almost been calling and cheering for an economic collapse.”
“I mean, can you think of anything more sinister and more wicked than someone who wants Americans to suffer,” Kirk continued, adding “If they got their way, the market would go down to 25,000 and people would be out of work and they’d say ‘see, I told you, Trump is this terrible and awful person’ “
“If you are cheering for the downfall of America, and you want bad economic news, then you care much more about political power than any sort of patriotic allegiance to the United States,” he further urged.
