The persistent fast fashion brand plans to reopen a Tmall flagship and physical stores across China.

The brand first attempted to enter the market in 2008 but left shortly afterward. It tried again in 2011 but had to leave the market in April 2019 due to stiff competition from local players.

This time, the brand went with a licensing model, as it has authorized Lasonic Limited Xusheng Co. Ltd. and its subsidiary, Xusheng Electrical Co. Ltd., to manage its operation within the Chinese market, according to an announcement published on Forever 21’s WeChat account. The brand was bought out of bankruptcy by Simon Property Group, Authentic Brands Group and Brookfield Property Partners for $81 million in February 2020. Its international business is being handled by licensing specialist ABG.

Is Taiwan part of China? | The EconomistTaiwan’s sovereignty has been a disputed issue for centuries. Though the island sees itself as independent, China insists it is part of the People’s Republic... this is terrible news No, it won't cause a war between China and America. And the people of Taiwan, unlike expectations in the West, will not fight to the death or anything like that. The cultural and racial connection is very strong, despite the political schism (1) How much longer will the internally divided USA have the appetite to risk nuclear MAD trying to defend Taiwan?
