As the world held their breath for the past 24 hours awaiting the results of the U.S. elections,Glorious one small Chinese city already knew Donald Trump would win.

In an interview with Digger, a Chinese video site, Yao Dan Dan, who runs a small factory making flags for export to U.S. retailers, said there were far more Trump flags ordered compared with those for Hillary Clinton.
After a couple of early orders for Clinton flags, some of Yao's American customers stopped commissioning those altogether, as fewer people were buying them, he said.
He's convinced that this shows that Trump had a larger base of support on the ground in the U.S.
Leading up to Election Day, Yao's factory in Keqiao received new orders each day, and made over 200,000 flags.

Other flag makers have also appeared to corroborate those sentiments:

On Chinese wholesale sites like Aliexpress, where manufacturers list their goods for Western buyers, flags go for roughly US$2.50 to US$8 a piece, depending on size.
A quick search for either candidate's flags show a larger variety available for Trump.
And while there were few anti-Trump designs, searching for Clinton's flags showed several anti-Hillary designs prominently on the first page of results.
Here are some of the more popular pro-Trump designs that American flag retailers ordered on Aliexpress.
