China Interferes in U.S. Election with Anti-Tariff Film Aimed at Republican Districts in California

The animated video was published in the "Opinion" section of the China Global Television Network website.

CGTN is an "International media organization" owned by China Central Television, the state television network in China.

The video depicts an almond complaining: "President Donald Trump has started a trade war against China. In retaliation, China has enacted a 50-percent combined tax on me, my friend pistachio, and other classic California produce."

While acknowledging that the Trump administration has provided $12 billion in aid to American farmers, it alleges that California farmers have been neglected: "Midwestern farmers are not happy with the relief, wanting trade instead. At least they have aid, unlike me."

Though the traditionally blue state voted for the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016, many of our state's farmers supported Trump.

Democrats are targeting several Republican-held districts in California where Hillary Clinton won the presidential vote in 2016.

One is the 10th congressional district, represented by Republican Jeff Dunham, who is an almond farmer.
