The Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (Cfius) has initiated a national security review into Shein's recent $80 million acquisition of American clothing retailer Everlane. This review, led by the Treasury Department, is specifically examining potential national security concerns related to Shein, a China-founded company, obtaining access to American personal data handled by Everlane. Shein voluntarily sought this review after the transaction was completed in May, a move that could lead to conditions or even unwinding of the deal if national security risks are identified. AI
