Trade war looms but Trump wants 2020 campaign flags made in China

While the United States and China are busy slapping retaliatory tariffs on each other, news emerges that a Chinese company will be manufacturing US President Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign flags.

Xi Jinping regime and the Trump administration slapped "tit-for-tat duties"on $34 billion worth of the other's imports on Friday, despite which, business seems to go the usual way. According to media reports, a company based in China’s Zhejiang provincehas agreed to prepare Trump's presidential campaign flags for 2020.

The company was the one behind making products for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential polls.

The owner of the Chinese company, that ventured into the business of making flags after China's inclusion into the World Trade Organisation, says there is nothing unusual with agreeing to enter into business with America while a trade war looms in the backdrop. The business goes on, as usual, Li Jiang told a leading American media house.

Jiang also noted that his company is a better contender for the order Chinese products have quality and are cheap, that's why the company has an edge over its competitors, Jiang states.

Beijing, on Friday, accused Washington of triggering the "largest-scale trade war" ever in a sharp escalation of their months-long conflict.

Hours before Washington's deadline for the tariffs to take effect, USPresident Donald Trump upped the ante, warning that the United States may ultimately target over $500 billion worth of Chinese goods, or roughly the total amount of USimports from China last year, Reuters reported.
