Temu Blocks US Shoppers From Seeing Products Shipped From China

Quick Summary:

The American version of Temu abruptly began to show only "local” products days before the Trump administration was set to end a tariff loophole for small packages from China.

Temu, Shein, and other companies that send customer orders directly from China have benefited from the trade provision for years, but critics say it has given foreign online shopping platforms an unfair advantage.

One Chinese Temu seller tells WIRED that while their US listings have been removed, their overall sales have increased due to growth from other regions.
