The Vietnamese government is threatening to block the internet domains and apps of Chinese online retailers Shein and Temu if they fail to register their operations with the Ministry of Commerce by the end of November 2024. The move comes amid concerns over the growing influence of the wildly popular e-commerce giants on the economies of local markets. According to Reuters, Vietnamese minister of commerce Nguyen Hoang Long has confirmed that the ministry is in talks with both Shein and Temu.
