Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu are facing new restrictions in France under a recently enacted "anti-fast fashion" law. China's Ministry of Commerce has expressed strong concern, viewing the law as discriminatory and a trade barrier that violates WTO principles. The ministry urges France to correct these practices and ensure a fair business environment, threatening to take necessary measures if Chinese companies' rights are infringed.
