Chinese-American comedian Jimmy O. Yang recently took to the stage with a sharp take on U.S. trade policy, joking, "Tmall is gonna be the new Gucci." His latest stand-up routine turns the spotlight on U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, suggesting that Americans may soon be unable to afford Chinese products. In contrast, Chinese consumers, on the other hand, have plenty of alternatives.
Through humor, Yang highlights the irony of protectionist trade measures and their real-world consequences—especially for everyday American shoppers. While playful, the joke underscores a deeper economic truth: tariffs might hurt the people they're meant to protect.
