Chinese factory gearing up for Halloween with masks of Trump, Clinton

The race for the White House is far from over, but one Chinese craft factory has already seized this year's U.S presidential election as a huge business opportunity.

The Jinhua Partytime Latex Arts and Crafts Factory in east China's Zhejiang province has been a leading producer of Halloween and party costumes for a decade. The factory produces thousands of rubber and plastic masks ranging from Osama Bin Laden to Spiderman.

Now, masks of both Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton are being churned out in the factory every day.

Orders for the two are currently neck and neck at around half a million each, but for the factory's manager, there is one that has come up trumps.

"I think in 2016 the Trump mask will completely sell out because he's getting quite popular. So I prefer him. We've built up a huge stockpile this year,"said Jacky Chen, the factory's general manager.

Once considered a fringe figure in the U.S. presidential race, Trump's support has surged in recent months to see him become the presumptiveRepublican Party nominee. His notoriety as an outspoken figure has also increased the demand for his mask.

Though the production costs are low, the masks are likely to sell at pretty decent prices in the U.S, as the country builds up to the crunch November election.

However, some of the mask producers at the factory do not even know who exactly Trump or Clinton are. For most of them, the presidential race represents a huge money-making opportunity, one that business tycoon Trump would be proud of himself.
