Did you watch the video? The interesting thing is apparently Shein is not actually popular among Chinese people. It makes me wonder whether "fast fashion" is in general. Further, the way they produce things seems better for the environment, since they are not overproducing so much and instead are producing in relation to monitoring of trends. It has a cost, which is the frantic labor of the workers, but I did not see anything that suggests the working conditions are equivalent to a company like Amazon where somebody can die on the warehouse floor. It would be important to know, for example, what happens if a worker has an issue.
