SHEIN

Have you heard of Shein? It's a super popular app that sells tons of clothes at really low prices. In fact, people in the UK alone spend about £1.5 billion on Shein clothes!

Most of these clothes are made in a city called Guangzhou, which is in southern China. Laura Bicker, a reporter for the BBC who covers China, went to Guangzhou to talk to the people who work in Shein's factories. She wanted to learn how the company makes its clothes so cheap.
