ABC has pulled its planned Four Corners episode on PwC tonight.
Hi everyone, we're holding our @4corners "Shadow State" for a week. While the rise of the consultants is a massive story we can't compete with the @TheMatildas 😀 @Miller_Reports @Jess_Longbottom

Instead it screens a Channel 4 buy in, “Inside The Shein Machine” in which UK reporter, Iman Amrani, investigates TikTok sensation SHEIN.
The Chinese fast-fashion retailer overtook Amazon this year to become the most downloaded shopping app in the US. With the company’s worth reportedly adding up to £43 billion dollars, it’s a fashion ecommerce success story, unrivalled.
Iman will explore how Shein has mastered social media marketing to become a global fast fashion phenomenon. 
During the pandemic everyone from influencers to high-street loyalists grew to love it.
Then Shein’s infamously opaque business is starting to hit headlines — Rumours of exploitative working conditions in its factories and the devastating environmental impact of fast fashion are trending more than ever.
But very little has ever been brought to light – until now as undercover cameras go inside Shein’s factories in China for the first time.
8:30pm tonight on ABC.

I wonder if this will be delayed by yet another week as now The Matildas are in a knock-out match this upcoming Monday?
Wow, ABC must be tipping 1.5m metro tonight for Matildas
