China Urges France to Halt Anti-Fast-Fashion Law

China's Ministry of Commerce urged France to stop implementing a new anti-ultra-fast-fashion law, claiming it violates World Trade Organization non-discrimination principles.

The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China urged France to halt the implementation of its new anti-ultra-fast-fashion legislation on Thursday. The Chinese government argues that the law targets specific business models in a way that undermines global trade standards.

Ministry spokesperson Huang Ling stated that the legislation is suspected of violating the non-discrimination principle of the World Trade Organization. The dispute centers on whether the French law unfairly penalizes certain international retailers, particularly those utilizing ultra-fast-fashion logistics and production cycles.
