huh, that's the first time I'm hearing about that company.

I was surprised too, I knew of them but didn't know they were this huge given that Aliexpress is more popular here (I think).

That might depend country-to-country, and anecdotally I've noticed techy people use aliexpress but non-techy people use wish/temu.

It also sounds like this is (mostly) about counterfeit luxury items, and if my first theory is right then Temu is going to be overrepresented in seized counterfeit imports.
