Description:

From the BBC World Service: The BBC has found that workers in Chinese factories making clothes for the fast-fashion giant Shein are laboring more than 75 hours a week and earning less than $1 an item. This breaks the country’s labor laws and adds to concerns about working conditions at Shein. Also on the program: China has reported its largest-ever trade surplus, amounting to nearly $1 trillion last year.
