France rejects China's discrimination claim over new anti-fast-fashion law

euronews.com

France rejected China's claim that its new anti-fast-fashion law, effective Tuesday, is discriminatory, calling the accusation false. China threatened retaliatory measures if the law stands. A French trade official said the law, targeting platforms like Shein and Temu, aims to protect the environment and consumers, not discriminate. China's commerce ministry urged suspension, arguing it violates WTO anti-discrimination rules and threatens Chinese firms' rights. The law imposes fees up to nearly 20 euros per garment based on volume and repair costs. China has not specified retaliation, but previously imposed anti-dumping measures on European brandy in 2024.
