There is indeed a risk that Temu's strong emphasis on affordability could compromise ethical considerations such as fair labor practices. The extremely low prices offered by Temu may incentivize suppliers to cut corners in terms of labor conditions and wages to maintain profitability while meeting consumer demand for cheap goods. This pressure to keep prices rock-bottom could lead some suppliers to engage in unethical practices like exploiting workers through poor working conditions or even utilizing forced labor, especially considering allegations regarding Uyghur forced labor within China's supply chain.
