Add another company to the pile of “companies profiting off of cheap Chinese goods at the expense of the American worker/economy and the environment”.

Add another company to the pile of “companies profiting off of cheap Chinese goods at the expense of the American worker/economy and the environment”.
- markdown 5y agoAmerican worker? Shein sells worldwide. H&M (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) and other US brands don't ship to most countries in the world, if they ship overseas at all.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoPretty sure H&M is not a US brand given all the H&M shops I saw in Europe long before I saw any in the USA. According to Wiki, they are Swedish. They also have stores in China.
- andylynch 5y agoH&M is the second largest clothing retailer in the world and based in Sweden- they trade in 75 countries. The only one bigger is Inditex from Spain.
- markdown 5y agoThey may trade in 75 countries, but I'll say again, the vast majority of people in the world can't go online and buy from H&M. They won't ship internationally. A guy in Samoa, Pakistan, or most other countries can't go to hm.com and buy anything. Shein ships to 220 countries.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoShein is a Chinese company itself, so they wouldn't really be hypocritical here. Is it better or worse than an American company profiting off of Chinese goods at the expensive of American worker/economy and environment? I guess we could just keep the goods all out, but the distributors aren't going to survive if it is allowed and they don't do it.

- max48 5y agoI don't see how they do it "the expense of the American worker". It's a Chinese company founded in China by a Chinese man and selling worldwide online, it's perfectly normal for them to make their product in China.
