White House Press Secretary's Dress Is 'Made In China': Chinese Diplomat

The US-China trade war has spilled onto social media, with Chinese supporters aiming at the US. The latest target is White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who faced backlash after wearing a dress reportedly made in China. The controversy started after Chinese diplomat Zhang Zhisheng criticised Ms Leavitt for wearing a dress made with Chinese lace, highlighting the disconnect between the Trump administration’s tough trade rhetoric and everyday realities.

Mr Zhang, who serves as the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Denpasar, Indonesia, took to X to share a picture of the dress and also included screenshots from Weibo users. One user claimed the lace on Ms Leavitt’s dress came from a factory in Mabu, China, where they work.

“Accusing China is business. Buying in China is life. The beautiful lace on the dress was recognized by an employee of a Chinese company as its product,” diplomat Zhang wrote on X.
