Cosatu calls for government ban of Shein and Temu to protect local jobs

[PAYBACK]

I'm a taobao fan. Never used temu.

Started at Banggood then AliExpress then Temu. Like that I have proper shipping and not ZA Postal System.

I'm in China, so none of those are much use.

When I'm back I still use taobao - via local shippers.

Can we rather ban COSATU. Then we will actually have local jobs.

You cannot blame competition in a free market, capitalistic system if they do it better than you.

Ban cosatu

Maybe cosatu should look closer to home first. Most people are probably not aware that 90 percent of everything sold at the china malls and large Chinese shops cropping up in malls and everywhere else are all supplied by a few key Chinese players with high ranking contacts in SA . They incorrectly declare nearly everything and pay vat on only a small portion of what they bring in.

How do I know this, I know Chinese people that are here from the 80s and have run legitimate businesses here but cannot compete anymore and have been downsizing steadily. They know the key players & how everything operates.

What do you mean? Surely you HAVE to declare everything you import?
