WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman Brian Mast (FL - 21) has called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the parent company of online retailer Temu over its alleged connections to the Chinese Communist Party.
In a statement, Congressman Mast, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, expressed his concerns, stating, "Whether it’s Tiktok or Temu, behind these friendly English words, hide three nefarious letters — CCP." He emphasized the importance of transparency, declaring, "We need to be clear, if you’re a company operating within the U.S., you don’t get to hide your links to the Chinese Communist Party."
Highlighting his worries about Temu, Congressman Mast has penned a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, urging the agency to initiate an investigation. Specifically, he has requested the FTC to look into whether Temu's marketing activities in the U.S. have been financially supported by communist China.
The letter sent by Congressman Mast to the FTC aims to shed light on Temu's alleged ties to the CCP and their business practices. For further details, the letter can be accessed through the provided link.
