The article discusses concerns raised by members of the UK Business and Trade Committee regarding Shein, a fast-fashion retailer. The company's general counsel, Yinan Zhu, faced criticism for not disclosing whether their products contain cotton sourced from China, amidst allegations of forced labor in China's Xinjiang region. Despite Shein's rapid growth and plans to list on the London Stock Exchange, the lack of clarity about its supply chains has led to accusations of 'obfuscation' and a lack of respect for the committee's inquiry. Zhu stated that Shein complies with relevant regulations and emphasized that the company does not own factories but works with multiple suppliers.
