The last part of the article is kinda BS.
The same stuff sold on Shein or Temu is also sold in Finland but with the stores markup, I.e. above recommend price as usual.
It’s like don’t but something without paying extra to our Finnish stores.
This anti junk initiative is a joke. Of course for Finland it’s better if I buy one of 3 available style of cases for my phone from power / gigantti for 30 euros, than order directly from temu, the same quality with any style I can imagine for 5 euros.
People who buy stuff are also aware what could be bad quality and what is not. Even if the consumer is spending 2 euros for whatever small item, still it is 2 euros which wants to spend wisely.
They call it junk but this isn’t the case, it’s stuff, not everything you need in life is of the highest cost.
Also the quality on Chinese goods is all over the place, I’ve bought plenty of stuff from China of far superior quality than anything I’ve ever gotten from a western brand; they have everything.
Hardware, parts and electronics are usually good and sometimes you can only get from China; I can’t buy overpriced stuff from ashell because must have license, but I can get the same parts from China, sometimes of even better quality to fix my home.
For 75 euros I bought 7 thermal sheets which I used to make curtains, in Finland for the same amount each thermal sheet costed over 100.
This stuff improves the quality of life of people.
Specially the poorest people.
Any of these anti-consumer laws always attacking the poor people, remember the market is not your enemy.
Good. They should just outright ban temu and similar sites. They are selling pirated stuff, many products dont have required certificates, some products might contain toxic parts, many products are unsafe for other reasons etc. They essentially violate so many regulations and laws that they should be banned just because of that, and honestly makes little sense that they have not been banned from whole EU yet.
