Shein dodges supply chain questions during UK parliamentary hearing

Amid its pursuit of a listing on the London Stock Exchange, Shein left a bad impression with British MPs during a hearing on Tuesday, January 7. The hearing is part of the UK's Workers' Rights Bill, which aims to protect workers from poor working conditions when buying imported goods. It was intended to give potential investors more clarity about Shein's supply chain. Yinan Zhu, Shein's general counsel for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), however, repeatedly refused to answer questions directly from Liam Byrne, chair of the British committee, during the session.
