Shein's workers in China work long hours

In Guangzhou, China, there is a place called "Shein village". Many people work there making clothes. They work very long hours, sometimes 75 hours a week. This is more than what the law in China says is okay. They make clothes like t-shirts and pants for Shein, a big fashion company. Shein sells clothes to many countries.

Shein is a very big company and is worth a lot of money. It wants to be on the London Stock Exchange. But some people are not happy with how Shein treats its workers. Last year, Shein said it found children working in its factories. Shein says it cares about its workers and is spending money to make things better.

The workers get paid for each piece of clothing they make. They work from morning until night. They make many clothes because Shein sells a lot. Shein's clothes are not expensive. This is why many people buy them. But the workers may not get a lot of money. Some people say this is not fair.
