The Chinese government has launched an antitrust investigation into Google, citing potential violations of its anti-monopoly law. This move comes in retaliation to the US imposing 10% tariffs on Chinese imports. China is also implementing additional tariffs and restrictions on various US goods, including critical minerals and farm equipment.
The Chinese government announced Tuesday it is opening an investigation into Google in response to 10 percent tariffs imposed on Chinese imports by US President Donald Trump. Minutes after the tariffs went into effect, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation said it was probing the American tech giant for potentially violating the country’s anti-monopoly law.
Because of US sanctions, Huawei is unable to use American-made software like Google Mobile Services, a suite of tools widely used across the smartphone industry. The restrictions forced the company to develop its own operating system called Harmony OS.
