Low-paid job or no job at all? Food or no food ?

I wouldn’t and never have purchased from Shein or Temu.

I can understand that in some households on a strict budget, they are the only solution to clothing ever growing children.

No, the 'only solution to clothing ever growing children' is not exploitation of someone else's children. The major supermarkets have huge ranges of very reasonably priced children's clothing.

I would never buy from them and try to buy British as much as possible. On BBC TV news the item was followed by a retail expert who said young people are now turning away from these companies preferring to buy better quality items even if they are second hand. Hopefully our generation will do likewise

No. There may be a cultural difference in that the workers accept the long hours etc., but that doesn't make it right.

It's not always possible, but I try not to buy Chinese-made goods whenever I can.

same here, but it can be difficult.

I’m another who would never buy from these companies. Terrible for the workers and terrible for the planet.

No I'm not BlueBelle I don't buy from these cut price sites. However I do wonder what would happen to that workforce without them .

No, and I have never been happy with this. Having a low budget does not mean it is acceptable to clothe you or your children on the misery of other people, including children. Undoubtedly, there will be those who think that it is ok, or say it is alright for those who can afford to shop elsewhere to criticise, but nothing is worth the price of another human being's slavery.

Certainly not. I would never buy from Shein or Temu.
