As of March 27, 2023, the legal battle between Chinese ultra-fast fashion companies Shein and Temu continues to heat up in the U.S.
SHEIN has filed a lawsuit against Temu in U.S. federal court accusing the Chinese app rival of paying social media influencers to make false statements against SHEIN to promote shoppers to switch to using Temu.
