There's no masking the facts. One Chinese factory is expecting Donald Trump to beat his likely U.S. presidential rival Hilary Clinton in the popularity stakes. At the Jinhua Partytime Latex Art and Crafts Factory, a Halloween and party supply business that produces thousands of rubber and plastic masks of everyone from Osama Bin Laden to Spiderman, masks of Donald Trump and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton faces are being churned out. Sales of the two expected presidential candidates are at about half a million each but the factory management believes Trump will eventually run out the winner. "Even though the sales are more or less the same, I think in 2016 this mask will completely sell out," said factory manager Jacky Chen, indicating a Trump mask.

    Gerente da fábrica de máscaras em Jinhua, na China, experimenta a do republicano Donald Trump

    A disputa eleitoral acirrada entre o republicano Donald Trump e a democrata Hillary Clinton chegou à China, e não apenas politicamente.

    Uma fábrica que produz máscaras de borracha em Jinhua, não muito distante de Xangai, espera vender 1 milhão de "caras" de Donald Trump e Hillary Clinton e, assim, está com a produção acelerada.

    O gerente da fábrica —cujos personagens vão de Osama bin Laden ao Homem-Aranha— aposta que as máscaras do virtual candidato republicano, Trump, serão campeãs de popularidade.

    "Apesar de as vendas serem mais ou menos as mesmas, acredito que essa aqui vai esgotar", diz Jacky Chen, apontando para a de Trump.

    Gerente da fábrica aposta que as máscaras de Donald Trump serão mais populares que as de Hillary

    Assim como a venda das máscaras de US$ 5 dólares, Trump e Hillary aparecem muito próximos na preferência eleitoral, segundo a média das pesquisas.

    Trump é o virtual candidato de seu partido na disputa das eleições em novembro. Já Hillary ainda disputa internamente a vaga dos democratas com Bernie Sanders.

    Trump já se manifestou criticamente sobre como a China lida com sua economia e seus efeitos sobre empregos e o mercado americanos.

    A China não se abriu a essa discussão com o republicano, mas o ministro Lou Jiwei (Finanças) chegou a se referir a Trump como "uma figura irracional".

    Essa polêmica, no entanto, está bem distante do cotidiano da produção de máscaras em Jinhua.

    Questionado se conhecia o personagem da máscara que fabricava, o funcionário Liu Dahua disse: "É o presidente dos Estados Unidos, não é?".
