Look at that line for Shein's grand opening in Paris. I thought the French were sophisticated in their tastes.
Clearly you never been to Paris. Only a few well off Parisians dress like the French want to show the world, 80% buy from shein and equivalent. Riu de ravioli is also filled with crap cheap shops, since it is right in front of Louvre so lots of cheap souvenir stores. Champ Elysee it is not.

I personally don't see an issue with this, you ideally want to keep the US military dependent on your supply chains and disincentivize them from developing their own indiginous material production. Pausing these export restrictions but leaving open the possibility of reimplementing them is a good way to do that.
It is the second clause that ban exports to the US, not the ban of military use (first clause).

I'm very disappointed. Indians have already gone out of their way to ruin his life and the effects are kinda permanent. So since it will not change anything to the damage done to him, why not just go full scorched earth?

Or maybe he's gonna do that anyway. Who knows?


Yeah... I kinda knew it was gonna be like this...lol

Better savev this video before they try to take it down.

Looks like no ban for now.
Ok I did not know Shein sold "Class A weapons" lol

Europeans need to be pretty careful going after Shein, fashion is an entirely BS industry and turning European fashion industry political to protect their profits will not end well for them. A blanket ban on European retailers in China would cost literally nothing.

Does uniqlo M&S Zara etc operate in Paris? Why they so sensitive on Shein? Was it bcoz its a Chinese competitor? I remember reading an article before claiming some ebtities hired a PR company to attack shein, not sure if true tho...
It's because Shein dares to put a physical store were all the other fancy brands are, and it's turning out to be very popular with the people judging from the long lines they're having.

This isn't about just Shein, this is about being about to define beauty/what's trendy. Being able to define beauty gives you the right to charge a large premium on luxury goods, that's what brands like LV/Chanel/Prada do and how they make the big money. You can see here that Shein making physical inroad into their home tuff means now someone else could be holding the power to define beauty and that rightfully upsets them, but all is fair in love and war.

If you want an example of a Chinese brand that has successfully gained the right to define beauty I would point to no other than Pop Mart and their Labubu which is commanding a very high premium for a soft toy. Shein is basically trying to do something similar and rug pull the old money brands in Paris.
