French authorities have threatened to block Chinese online store Shein if it does not remove sex dolls with “childlike” features from its website.
The Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) said descriptions for the products on the Shein website “make it difficult to doubt the child pornographic nature of the content.”
The French daily newspaper Le Parisien said the product in question — an 80 centimeter (30 inch) tall doll holding a teddy bear — was accompanied by an explicitly sexual description on the Shein website.
No wonder the LPC is hot for China.
