In a letter to the SEC last month, Mr Rubio argued that investors could be vulnerable if Shein’s products are “seized or barred” from the American market by the US Customs and Border Protection for potential violations of a federal law against forced labour.
Although Shein is headquartered in Singapore, he said that in reality it remains a Chinese company, subject to laws and regulations which “can change without notice” under the authoritarian regime. This “could destroy Shein’s business overnight if it falls out of favour”, exposing shareholders, he claimed.
