France’s parliament on Thursday backed a string of measures making low-cost fast fashion, especially from Chinese mass producers, less attractive to buyers.

That is my understanding as well, yes.

I think there's some rhyme and reason to it: France has limited insight into random manufacturing operations somewhere in Asia, so it can't directly regulate there. That's especially true if the clothing is sold by a Chinese platform as well which I don't expect to care much about the EU supply chain regulation either.
