Chinese retailers swiftly responded to the news of an assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump by producing and selling thousands of T-shirts featuring a defiant image of Trump shortly after the incident. The photo, captured by the Associated Press, depicted Trump with a raised fist surrounded by security personnel during an election rally in Pennsylvania.

Reports from the South China Morning Post indicated that the Associated Press released the photo at 6:31 pm on Sunday. Within a short span, Chinese manufacturers had T-shirts ready for sale on platforms like Taobao by 8:40 pm, just over two hours later. Li Jinwei, a 25-year-old seller on Taobao, listed the shirts even before they were printed and quickly received over 2,000 orders from customers in both China and the US.

The surge in demand for such merchandise isn't new. DHgate, a Chinese cross-border e-commerce platform, reported a significant increase in sales of election-related souvenirs, marking a 40% monthly rise since January. The transaction volume in the first quarter of 2023 alone spiked by 90% compared to the previous year. This trend highlights Chinese exporters' strategy of ramping up shipments to US warehouses to meet the growing demand for Trump-themed memorabilia.

The swift production and sale of these T-shirts underscore the agility of Chinese online retailers in responding to global events and consumer trends, particularly in the realm of political and pop culture souvenirs.
