During a parliamentary session, Liam Byrne, chair of the Business and Trade Select Committee, expressed disappointment over Shein's lack of transparency regarding its supply chains and cotton sourcing.
Yinan Zhu, Shein's general counsel, struggled to provide clear answers on cotton sourcing and alleged forced labor in Xinjiang, sparking criticisms of the company’s accountability.
Byrne challenged Zhu's refusal to address the forced labor issue in Xinjiang by calling it 'a question of fact' indicating a lack of company perspective on serious allegations.
Amid pressures on its proposed London flotation, Shein's commitment to compliance with laws was overshadowed by doubts regarding the integrity of its supply chain management.
