HANOI (Reuters) -- The Vietnamese government said it will block the internet domains and apps of Chinese online retailers Shein and Temu in the country if they have not registered their operations with the trade ministry before the end of November.

The move comes amid concerns about the impact of Chinese online platforms on local markets due to their heavy discounting and the quality of goods available.
