00:00Chinese fast fashion giant Shein opened its very first physical store this Wednesday at the BHV store right in the heart of Paris.
00:11And a timing couldn't be more explosive as France is set to become the first country in the world to crack down on ultra-fast fashion.
00:21Queues stretched for dozens of meters outside since the morning, and shoppers say they're here for the low prices.
00:28It's not cheap, it's already one. We don't find 5-30% euros on other sites.
00:34And we're going to say that it's quality, but not too quality. But for the price, it's good.
00:40It's just to be a nice company, nice price, nice product, and only this.
00:48I don't look for details. I don't watch news.
00:52For me, I separate the story. I don't care about the story or the background.
00:59But on the other side of the street, the anger is palpable.
01:03Protesters denounce the brand's record on labour rights, the environment, and now a new scandal involving childlike sex dolls.
01:13I think it's honteux that the BHV store can open up such a sign that she's physically.
01:20It's flippant.
01:21It's children.
01:22And in addition, with the specificities, the descriptions well specific,
01:27so that the pedo-criminals can exercise on it.
01:32And tomorrow, it means that they will pass to the act.
01:34So we encourage this kind of thing.
01:37So, it makes me mad.
01:39It makes me mad.
01:40It makes me mad.
01:41It makes me mad as a survivor of a victim of a minor, not sexual character, but as a victim.
01:49And it makes me mad.
01:51Several French brands have withdrawn from the BHV store in protest, while the government announced it will be initiating proceedings to suspend Xi'in's online platform until it complies with French law.
02:05The Chinese brand says it has banned all adult products and is reviewing its screening measures.
02:11But for many, this isn't just about fashion.
02:14It's about where France draws the line between cheap clothing and ethics.
02:21And it makes me mad.
02:22It makes me mad.
02:23It makes me mad.
02:24It makes me mad.

02:44It makes me mad.
02:45It makes me mad.
02:46It makes me mad.
02:47It makes me mad.
02:48It makes me mad.
