    Its mostly the same stuff as on amazon and costs 1/4

    This is a myth that is not true. Temu and other Chinese platforms are using their own platforms (similar to Chinese industrial companies that are using their own integrated supply chains, btw). This is not the same as on Amazon or any other Western company. Shein only recently announced that it intends to open up its own supply chain to other brands as rising tariffs on Chinese imports in the U.S. have increased pressure on the company’s retail margins.

    This fact is also important to recognize. It’s supposedly the main reason why China opposes transparent supply chains to fight forced labor and protect workers’ and consumer rights.
