'Fight, fight fight,' Trump attack T-shirts put up for sale in China within hours
Trump attack T-shirts go on sale in China
As former US president Donald Trump barely survived an assassination attempt Saturday (Jul 13) during a Pennsylvania rally, retailers in China were quick to convert this incident into a business opportunity. Within two hours, Chinese shops were inundated with T-shirts printed with images of a wounded Trump. Some of those carried words spoken by Trump immediately after the attack: 'Fight! Fight! Fight!' and 'For God and country'. One T-shirt said, 'Shooting makes me stronger' with Trump's image right below it.
Ironically, Chinese retailers were even quicker than US President Joe Biden in reacting to the incident. While Biden's first public comment came at 8 pm local time, two hours after the attack, Chinese shops had already received their first batch of Trump t-shirts by then.

South China Morning Post (SCMP), a Hong-Kong based news outlet, quoted retailer Li Jinwei as saying, "We put the T-shirts on Taobao as soon as we saw the news about the shooting, though we hadn’t even printed them, and within three hours we saw more than 2,000 orders from both China and the US."
Chinese sellers were able to monetise one of the most defining moments of US political history quickly using digital printing technology, which allowed the T-shirts to be printed and listed for sale very quickly.
As per reports, such digital printing machines can print 8 such T-shirts per hour.
