EU Warns Temu Over Obstructing Dublin Subsidies Inspection
PDD sits 22% above its 52-week low of $71.94.
Summary
The EU has issued a formal warning to PDD's Temu, alleging it obstructed a December 2025 inspection at its Dublin office under the bloc's foreign subsidies regulation. The European Commission preliminarily finds Temu failed to cooperate on multiple fronts, including withholding organizational and activity records. If confirmed, this breaches procedural obligations and escalates regulatory risk for the e-commerce platform already facing a $230M EU fine and a copyright lawsuit from Shein. Temu denies the findings and says it cooperated fully. This adds to a pattern of EU scrutiny that could lead to further penalties or operational restrictions.
