Show notes

From the BBC World Service: Shein is making headlines for more than its new brick-and-mortar store in Paris’s famed BHV department store. But the launch has been overshadowed by French authorities’ investigation into disturbing, illegal products sold on the platform, as well as on Temu, AliExpress, and Wish. Today, we'll learn more.
