Protesters gathered in Paris as fast-fashion giant Shein opened its first permanent store in the city, denouncing the company’s labor practices and environmental impact. The demonstration outside the store in the Marais district drew activists, lawmakers, and retail workers demanding greater accountability from the Chinese online retailer.

As tensions flared, French officials announced moves toward suspending the store’s operations pending further review of the company’s compliance with labor and environmental standards. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and other politicians have criticized Shein’s business model, accusing it of unfair competition and exploiting loopholes in European regulations.

00:00Who are committed to this issue and they too are the recent ones, perhaps with people whose
00:15goal is also to go and talk to people who...
00:17Today, we refuse to let Chine set up shop in the heart of Paris, we also refuse to let
00:33it set up shop in other cities in France on a permanent basis, their website is already
00:37disgusting, we've talked about it enough in the press, so we won't go over it again,
00:41but above all, we're here to say that we are now able to re-industrialize our country,
00:45to reinstate French textiles, our French and European expertise.
00:50And we're here to say that we refuse to let companies like Chenin destroy jobs,
00:54the planet, and the health of the French people. We don't talk about it enough,
00:58but everything that ends up in these fabrics because they are poorly manufactured impacts
01:02the health of the French people.
01:11Now
01:15I'm waiting for two hours and I'll wait for China to open and I say,
01:20well done to China while saying one little thing because it can only bring potential to BHB.
01:25I'm waiting for two hours and I'll wait for China to open and I say, well done to China while saying one little thing because it can only bring potential to BHB.
01:34Don't think it's just for China, it's just for China, it's just that they're going to fill their coffers too, you understand?
01:43And China didn't give themselves away, they have 10,000 square meters but they pay the rent.
01:45I'm waiting for two hours and I'll wait for China to open and I say, well done to China while saying one little thing because it can only bring potential to BHB.
01:49Don't think it's just for China, it's just that they're going to fill their coffers too, you understand?
01:58And China didn't give themselves away, they have 10,000 square meters but they pay the rent.
02:04So by paying the rent there will be people for China, there will be people for everyone and then business will start moving again and I hope that China will open other points of sale here in Paris.
02:12Especially why not the guys at La Féilette, you and those who are doing it today to go to China, you're there, you're taking it today, the second of the month, as luck would have.
02:29It, from what I can tell you is that the clothes made here respect workers' rights and I made sure of that, yes, thank you.
02:36This story is absolutely terrible, it's disgusting, I've said it several times.
02:47I strongly encourage and I'm still having discussions with this morning's announcements about bladed weapons that are sold on the platform.
02:54I strongly encourage the leaders of China to legislate and legislate quickly, in any case, to make important decisions regarding this marketplace because I vouch for the quality of the products that are here.
03:04They are Chinese products. I'm proud to say it because what the Chinese marketplace does is not good.
