HANOI, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Vietnamese state media reported

on Thursday that Chinese online retailer Temu has been told to

suspend its operations in the country until it competes

registration with local authorities.

"Temu hadn't completed its registration procedures by the

end-November deadline," Vietnam News Agency cited the Ministry

of Industry and Trade as saying.

Last month, Vietnam said Chinese online retailers Shein and

Temu needed to register with the government before the end of

November or it would block their internet domains and apps from

being used in the country.
