It’s a good start. I guess they can always increase the fine if they continue to break the rules. Eventually the fine should be higher then their profit.
Pretty harsh fine for a business like Temu, which relies on a difference of a few cents at large scale to make a profit.

Genuine concern or anti-competitive practices?
Baby toys with tiny parts, jewelry loaded with lead, and clothes covered in dangerous chemicals. Which do you think it is?
Most drugs are transported to Europe by boat. Where are the fines on shipping companies?
