Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said he was increasingly condemning China’s Tem after the online marketplace aired multiple commercials during Sunday’s Super Bowl XL broadcast on CBS. I’m one of those people.
China’s Tem purchased three Super Bowl commercials promoting the site to American consumers. Considering that the commercials during Sunday’s broadcast cost $7 million each, this was a significant and expensive promotion.
Tem has recently come under fire over mounting evidence that the company profits from Chinese slave labor.
Additionally, the online marketplace known for its cheap products is facing class action lawsuits in New York and Illinois alleging Chinese companies are collecting customers’ personal data without proper notice.
Senator Cotton criticized Mr. Tem following Sunday’s Big Game, pointing out that Chinese companies are forced to share their data with the Chinese Communist Party.
Like TikTok, Temu and other Chinese tech companies must give the Communist Party free access to their data. This should not be the starting point for doing business in the United States.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) warned Super Bowl viewers that their money and data “is not safe in this Chinese Communist Party-controlled company.”
If you’re watching the Super Bowl and wondering what Tem is and why there are so many ads, you’re not alone. On Super Bowl Sunday, the Chinese Communist Party-backed company Temu aired six commercials totaling more than $21 million.
Your money and data are not safe in this Chinese Communist Party-controlled environment…

Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) criticized CBS for allowing Chinese Communist Party-controlled companies to air commercials in the United States and warned American consumers to avoid them.
There were a surprising number of Temu ads during the Super Bowl. @CBS They shouldn’t have been given a second of airtime.
If you use Temu, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, your data will be exploited in China and your funds will support slave labor in Xinjiang. Don’t shop at Temu.

The backlash against Tem began in the days leading up to Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Rep. Carol Miller (R-West Virginia) exclusively told “Breitbart News Saturday” that CBS’s decision to grant Tem airtime represents a “touchdown on our team by the Chinese Communist Party.” Ta. CBS is owned by Paramount Global.
“This is an online retail shopping company that’s a lot like Amazon. And it’s basically the Chinese Communist Party, a subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party, and it’s associated with these holdings called PDD, and as an American, I don’t think this We have a problem with that,” Miller said. “I feel like this is unacceptable. This is our game. This is America.”
Rep. Cat Cammack (R-Fla.) told U.S. consumers, “Do not download this app!”
of @Super Bowl Having @temu civil aviation owned by the Chinese Communist Party should be a wake up call to all Americans. Temu is accused of stealing customers’ financial information and planting spyware in its apps. All of that data is owned and controlled by CCP. Please do not download this app.

The backlash has increased significantly since the Super Bowl.
Temu is recognized as one of the most dangerous spyware apps in the world
Chinese Communist Party-backed apps ran a whopping five times as many ads during the Super Bowl

These Temu ads are the most annoying ads I’ve ever seen…
And if you look into their business practices, you probably won’t buy from them.

Temu ads will be displayed during the period #SuperBowlLVIII
Every dollar sent to this Chinese shopping app ends up funding China.
– Bringing more fentanyl into America
– Cyberattacks on power grids, water supplies, and hospitals
– Build armies and terrorist organizations to kill Americans
I’m just saying no.
