Yinan Zhu, Shein's general counsel, confirmed the suppliers manufacture in China but faced backlash for not clarifying if Chinese cotton is used in products.
The scrutiny on Shein follows serious allegations of forced labor in their supply chains, particularly sourcing from the Xinjiang region, affecting their reputation.
MPs accused Ms Zhu of 'wilful ignorance', criticizing her non-answers concerning the use of Chinese cotton, highlighting the contentious global human rights debate.
Shein's rapid rise during the pandemic has been overshadowed by concerns over environmental impact and labor practices, leading to increasing pressure from multiple fronts.
