LEaders around the world have responded to the new shocking prices of US President Donald Trump who threaten to upset the world economy with severe words and denunciations. But the Chinese state media offered a different approach.
“The” Liberation Day “, you promised the stars,” sings a voice on Trump images. “But the prices killed our cheap Chinese cars.”
A Musical video of 2 minutes and 42 seconds“Speed” Look at what you taxed us through (a song generated by AI. A reality that makes life accidents) ” – was published on April 3 by Chinese State News Network CGTN.
“For many Americans, the” liberation day “welcomed by the Trump administration will mean the reduction of payroll checks and the cost increase. The prices strike, the wallets leave: low -income families take the hardest blow. While the market holds its breath, the toll is already undeniable. The numbers are not found. “Warning: the track is generated by AI. The debt crisis? 100% human manufacturing.”
The words, displayed in English and Chinese, seem to reprimand Trump’s prices from the point of view of the American consumer, and he is addressed directly to the American president. “The grocery store costs a kidney, the gas in a lung. Your” offers “? Just hot air in your language,” continues the opening verse. “Thank you for the prices and the mess that you have done”, the song ends, before the clip displays quotes from the Yale Budget Lab and Economist Must Trump’s prices.
Experts have warned that US consumers will support a large part of Trump prices, which are import taxes, and American recession indicators have increased since the deployment of the White House “reciprocal” price on April 2. At the same time, the world markets have been shocked at a level not seen from the pandemic.
CGTN is not the only state media to use AI to slam Trump’s trade policy. New China TV, the state brand on English -language social media from the Official New China, Xinhua, also published on April 3 Three minutes and 18 seconds SCI-FI Short called “price”
The film follows a robot named technical artificial robot for international tax functions. “This is the story of Tariff, an Aigc [artificial-intelligence-generated content] Science fiction thriller on the relentless armament of #tariffs by the United States and the psychological journey of a humanoid to its possible self-destruction. Please look, ”reads the description of the video on YouTube.
In the film, Tariff is started by what seems to be a harmful civil servant of the American government named “Dr Mallory”. The price identifies, saying: “My existence is defined by the execution of international tax actions, the primary directive being the taxation of a tax on foreign imports.” When asked what his ultimate goal is, Tariff answers: “To protect the interests of the American people.”
“Exactly,” explains Dr. Mallory. “We need you as a weapon to protect ourselves, now more than ever.”
Over the film, Tariff implements “moderate rates” and finds initial positive results: “industrial production”. But when Dr. Mallory pushes the robot to “Rev it up”, Prict implements “aggressive prices”. The results: “unemployment rates increased, growing life costs, trade disturbance”.
“You protect us. This is what we need, ”explains Dr. Mallory. The price responds, understanding: “Protection by disturbance. Taxation as a weapon ”.
“Yes, prices are a tool of power. You will protect our industries, our jobs, our economy, ”says Dr. Mallory, seeming more and more agitated. “But I can see the consequences of my actions,” explains the robot. “Commercial wars. The troubles. People who suffer. And reprisals. “
Spoiler alert: Price and the bad doctor compete for the “greater good” – “with my AI economic inference system,” says Tariff, “I can see … I have become the start of a chain reaction that will harm the very people that I had to save” – and the robot finally chooses self -destruction, taking Dr Mallory with him.
On April 3, after the announcement of Trump prices, the Chinese Foreign Ministry Published on social networks A video showing a mixture of images apparently generated by AI and real, with the soundtrack of “imagine” by John Lennon and the United States for “We Are the World” of Africa. He asked the question: “What kind of people do you want to live in?” Offer the choice between our “imperfect world” with things like “greed” and “prices” and a utopia alternative with “shared prosperity” and “global solidarity”.
Admittedly, the latter is certainly not reality in China. And for the moment, it seems far from being possible for the world.
Beijing made his dissatisfaction with Trump’s prices – which began to target China during his first mandate – well known. The latest “reciprocal” rate of 34% is at the top of 20% of the samples announced earlier this year. Beijing has implemented over the years “tit-form” countermeasures and has promised to continue as long as the trade war persists, warning earlier this year: “If the war is what the United States wants, whether it is a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we are ready to fight until the end.”
