TWO of China's fastest-growing online retailers are engaged in a US legal battle in one of their biggest and most lucrative markets, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
Temu, a unit of Shanghai-based PDD Holdings, sued its rival Shein, founded in Nanjing and based in Singapore, alleging antitrust and consumer rights violations, according to a complaint filed on July 14 at the District Court of Massachusetts. Temu seeks unspecified monetary damages.
"Shein has engaged in a campaign of threats, intimidation, false assertions of infringement, and attempts to impose baseless punitive fines," Temu wrote. "For a long time, we have exercised significant restraint and refrained from pursuing legal actions. However, Shein's escalating attacks leave us no choice but to take legal measures to defend our rights," Temu said in a separate statement.
Shein said the lawsuit is "without merit" and vowed to "vigorously defend" itself, according to an email statement.
