Shein representative declines to answer China cotton question in UK hearing
80% Informative
A Shein representative declined to provide a direct answer when asked by a British parliamentary committee on Jan 7 whether the online fast-fashion retailer uses cotton from China .
The US and non-governmental organisations have long accused China of human rights abuses in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.
Shein has previously said it requires contract manufacturers to source cotton only from approved regions.
But publicly distancing itself from Xinjiang cotton is risky.
