Viral TikToks mock NYC’s subway system with comparison to ‘developing’ China: ‘Where does America’s money go?’

Footage mocking New York City’s subway system has gone viral on TikTok — with a slew of social media clips ridiculing US infrastructure in comparison to China.

One video, shared by user Schbachlq on the Chinese-owned social platform, blasted out footage of water cascading from the ceiling of Brooklyn’s Jefferson Street station, as well as burst pipes at Manhattan’s 34th Street stop.

Scores of rats, meanwhile, could be seen hauling food and trash as they scurried around underground.

In stark contrast, the clip — which noted the US was a “developed country” — quickly cut to footage of pristine transit hubs across a “developing” China.

The footage — viewed more than 2.5 million times already — bragged of air trains zooming through Wuhan and a pearly white subway station in Shenzen.

“Where does America’s money go?” the video was captioned, comparing the two countries’ GDPs.

Other similar videos, which have been viewed tens of thousands of times, compared homeless people camping out across the US to footage of Chinese locals strolling down immaculate streets.

“Do you know how much China used to admire the US,” one of the clips stated.

“They saw America as a mentor and tried to learn everything from it.”

The mocking clips come as a trade war over President Trump’s harsh tariffs continues to escalate after the US raised levies on Chinese imports to 145%.

Beijing quickly retaliated by slapping retaliatory duties of 125% on US goods.
