Those devices were rigged to blow by Israel, who then pulled the trigger.

Posts from Chinese social media, stating factories are running overnight shifts to accommodate huge orders of communication devices from the Middle East.

A requirement from clients, is that the whole manufacturing process must be done inside China.

The little black box with a screen is a pager. Pagers have been in the news because Israel made a bunch of Hezbollah pagers splode, in case you somehow missed all of that.

What’s this got to do with libs? Comparing TikTok or other Chinese goods to a literal bomb doesn’t make sense, but whatever.

You see braindead americans saying shit like that about Chinese products all the time; this is a play on that.

Just to correct, the pagers were made by a taiwanese company, not chinese.

I think the meme is suggesting that they were literally made by "the West" but maybe I'm missing something

Taiwan is part of the capitalist core which is basically synonymous with the west. Honorary west you could say, at least until its strategic significance drops and it will get abandoned by USA.

The pagers were licensed by the Taiwanese company. Officially produced in Europe by Hungarian company BAC. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwan-firm-denies-making-pagers-used-lebanon-explosions-rcna171594. But BAC a shell company so the rabbit hole continues.
