Multiple European Union flags waving against a clear blue sky.

The European Commission announced on Friday that it has charged Chinese online retailer Temu for failing to cooperate properly during a raid on its European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, in December.

The charge is part of an ongoing investigation into whether Temu benefited from the distortion of foreign subsidies. Temu operates as a unit of PPD Holdings and maintains its European headquarters in Dublin.

The inspection, which took place between December 2 and 5, was an unannounced procedure conducted at Temu's Dublin office.
