Kuaishou has now made an official statement.

In my keynote at the Hovedorganisasjonen Virke Arena conference on 18/9, I will share how Temu keeps changing its business models and the impact of the cancellation of the import tax exemption on Temu in the US.

There is a lot to learn from this for us in Europe.

See you in Lillestrøm, Norway.
