China took opposed to the United States on Tuesday with a series of measures that have addressed US companies. In addition to the prices and import restrictions, he said that the country introduced an antitrust survey on Google.
The survey ad Indistinct: just one line on the online page of a Chinese agency. But it pushes Google, whose Seek engine should not be had in China, amid a geopolitical dispute and adds to the company’s long list of regulatory headaches.
A Google spokesman refused to comment on the investigation of the Chinese government.
Google has the world’s most widely used search engine, and also leads the market for digital advertising. The company has faced antitrust investigations around the world, including in the United States, Canada, Europe and South Korea.
While it’s still unclear how China’s antimonopoly investigation will develop, it could affect Google’s dealings with Chinese companies. Here’s more about the company’s limited operations there:
The Chinese antitrust authority, the State Management for Market Regulations, said it makes plans to investigate Google. The authority accused Google of having violated an antimonopole law without offering more details.
The same framework investigates Nvidia, the American manufacturing of chips, for antimonopoly lands since December.
Google’s core products should not be held in China due to the country’s censorship restrictions. The company’s Seek engine, YouTube’s video platform and app store should not be available in the country.
