Yiwu, a hub of wholesale manufacturing in China, handles a huge portion of the world's flag orders.

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.

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.

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.
