What Is Temu

Temu is an American-based online marketplace owned and operated by PDD Holdings, which also owns Pinduoduo, a popular social commerce platform in China. Temu is a globalized version of Pinduoduo. It advertises products for a low price and can do so because of lower manufacturing costs in China. Temu's low prices and sending purchased items directly to consumers allow it to bypass tariffs, saving it a ton of cash. However, more concerning is the issue of forced labor.
