The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party released a report Thursday indicating that Chinese e-commerce suppliers Temu and Shein are likely shipping products to the U.S. in violation of Uyghur forced labor laws.
The "Fast Fashion and Uyghur Genocide: Interim Findings" report determined that both Temu and Shein "rely heavily on the de minimis exception to ship packages directly to U.S. consumers," thus avoiding being screened for Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) violations.
