Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answers questions from reporters on the issue of France's "anti-fast fashion" law.

On July 22, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the "Anti-Fast Fashion" law in France. It was mentioned that China has noticed that the recently implemented "Anti-Fast Fashion" law in France imposes discriminatory restrictions on Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms, severely distorting fair competition through legislation. China expresses serious concerns about this. China believes that the law, under the pretext of establishing so-called "environmental" and "sustainable" standards, is actually implementing exclusive measures, suspected of violating the non-discrimination principle of the World Trade Organization, and has become a trade barrier against China, seriously deviating from France's outward promotion of fair competition and free trade principles. This will not only harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises but also affect the interests of French consumers. We urge the French side to abide by the rules of the World Trade Organization, immediately correct the discriminatory practices mentioned above, and provide a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises. China will closely monitor the development and implementation of relevant legislation and regulations and take necessary measures to counter if the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises are infringed upon.
