China has urged France to halt its recently implemented law targeting ultra-fast fashion, describing the measure as discriminatory.
The underlying law, which took effect on Tuesday, raises the contribution paid by producers of qualifying clothing, footwear and household linen sold through ultra-fast-fashion business models by between €0.25 and €12 per item in 2026, with the maximum rising to €20 from 2030.
The legislation affects major e-commerce platforms including Shein, Temu and AliExpress.
