@mart_brooks @postcrossing the #UniversalPostalUnion (#UPU) is that body, but AFAIK there's no requirement for stamps (or anything else for that matter) to be in French.

@fulelo Maybe one of the absolutely key reasons behind "Shein's success" should have been at least mentioned in passing: That the recipient countries subsidize postal shipping of these imports from a hostile dictatorship that never played by any of the WTO rules it 'promised' to follow "any day now" after quarter century now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The probably toxic €/$20 disposable sweatshop fashion item would've cost at least double if the taxpayers in the naive recipient countries hadn't subsidized the PRC exporters. Long may it continue?
