The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has demanded that France immediately suspend the taxes applied to fast fashion. The penalties, which range from €0.5 to €12, were implemented this month and primarily affect platforms like Shein and Temu.

China has expressed its dissatisfaction with these taxes, which it considers detrimental to trade, especially for fast fashion companies operating in the country. The Chinese government argued that such measures could negatively impact trade relations between the two nations.

The demand for the suspension of the taxes has been widely reported, with various sources highlighting China's insistence that France reconsider its stance on these penalties.
