A Republican lawmaker is urging the Federal Trade Commission to probe the China-based parent company of fast fashion retailer Temu over its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., on Tuesday sent a letter to the FTC calling out PDD Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries, Pinduoduo and Temu, for "harmful business practices here in the United States.
He urges the FTC to question Temu about any financial benefits the company has received from the CCP to subsidize its marketing efforts in the U.S. and to raise questions about how the company handles data security. Temu did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company has previously denied that it failed to properly secure customer data in response to the lawsuits.
