SINGAPORE: In response to US President Donald Trump’s continuing trade conflict, the humor of a White House press director wearing what appears to be a Chinese attire has not been lost on eagle-eyed Chinese citizens.  ,
Images of White House spokesman Karoline Leavitt went viral on Chinese social media sites like Xiaohongshu and the Sina Weibo microblogging site on Wednesday ( Apr 16 ).
Leavitt, who is alleged to have been speaking at a current White House presentation, was identified in a purple dress with black ribbons trimmings from the UK-based Self-Portrait, which was created by Indonesian Chinese designer Han Chong and produced in China.  ,
Zhang Zhisheng, China’s consul general in Denpasar, Indonesia, first made the claim in a statement, and the reaction that followed was timely.
China is a company, they say. Buying China is living, Zhang wrote in a blog on X, which was shared several photos and pictures, and was shared more than 700 days.  ,
Zhang added that a factory worker had recognized the dress’s black lace fixings as its “product.”  ,
” Fools exposed. It’s actually very funny,” wrote one commenter who was referencing Zhang’s article.
The quips “write themselves,” said one person.  ,
