Entering the U.S. is only the beginning.

进入美国,只是开始。

On October 16, the Texas Attorney General announced a settlement with Temu covering data security and product safety. According to the announcement and public reporting, Temu will:

10月16日,德州总检察长宣布与 Temu 就数据安全和产品安全问题达成和解。根据官方公告及公开报道,Temu 将:

Store Texans' personal data on U.S. servers

将德州用户的个人数据存储在美国境内服务器上

Limit data sent to China to what is needed to complete transactions

传回中国的数据仅限于完成交易所需的信息

Conduct annual independent product safety testing and third-party app security reviews

每年进行独立的产品安全检测,并接受第三方应用安全审查

Remove products confirmed to contain harmful substances, terminate the sellers, and refund affected customers

下架经确认含有害物质的商品,终止相关卖家,并向受影响的消费者全额退款

Temu will pay $3 million. Texas says breaches of the data security terms could bring penalties of up to $8 million for each year a violation occurs. Temu denied wrongdoing, and the settlement is not an admission of liability.

Temu 将支付300万美元。德州表示,如违反数据安全条款,每发生违规的一年最高可处800万美元罚款。Temu 否认存在不当行为,本次和解不构成对责任的承认。

These terms are specific to this case. The broader lesson for companies with Chinese ownership, operations, or supply chains is that compliance does not end at market entry. It is ongoing, and it gets audited.

以上条款仅针对本案。但对于有中国股东、运营或供应链背景的企业来说,更值得关注的是:合规不会在进入市场时结束。它是持续性的,而且会被审查。

We see eight areas that leadership teams should manage together: data, product safety, employment, tax, licensing, trade, governance, and state-by-state compliance.

我们认为管理层需要统筹管理八大领域:数据、产品安全、用工、税务、许可证照、贸易、公司治理,以及各州合规。

The practical tool is a unified U.S. Compliance Management Framework. It includes named owners, a compliance calendar, documented controls, an evidence register, and a clear escalation path.

切实可行的做法是建立统一的"美国合规管理框架",包括明确的负责人、合规日历、书面化的内控流程、证明材料台账,以及清晰的上报机制。

Legal and tax advisers determine which requirements apply. Management has to turn that advice into daily operating decisions.

法律和税务顾问负责判断哪些要求适用,而管理层需要把这些建议落实到日常经营决策中。

One question for leadership: for each critical compliance area, can you name the owner, the next deadline, and the supporting evidence?

请管理层自问:对于每一个关键合规领域,您能否说出负责人是谁、下一个截止日期是什么时候、有哪些证明材料?
