By Helen Reid LONDON (Reuters) -Chinese online fashion platform Shein is ramping up its fight in France, gambling that its first permanent shop, in a Paris department store, will help fend off fierce pushback from lawmakers against its low-cost model.

The French government threatened to ban Chinese retailer Shein for selling a "childlike" sex doll. Shein is opening a store at BHV Marais in Paris.

Las autoridades francesas han advertido que podrían bloquear el acceso a Shein después de que se descubriera que el gigante de la moda rápida en línea había estado vendiendo muñecas sexuales con una apariencia infantil.

Online retail platforms Shein, Temu, AliExpress and Wish are being investigated in France over alleged dissemination of contents including child pornography on their marketplaces, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.
