Microsoft told not to hinder investigation
Print Edition
MICROSOFT Corp should not obstruct an antitrust investigation by Chinese regulators, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) said yesterday.
The agency has questioned Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President Mary Snapp, who was at the regulator’s offices yesterday, an SAIC spokesman said.
Last week, the administration said it was formally investigating Microsoft for breach of antitrust rules and had raided four of its China offices.
“Microsoft promised to respect Chinese law and fully cooperate with the SAIC’s investigation work,” it said.
The company said last week its “business practices are designed to be compliant with Chinese law.”
The warning is likely a preemptive step in the course of the government’s investigation.
“I don’t think the government is saying Microsoft has already done anything to obstruct the investigation, otherwise they would have publicized it,” said You Yunting, a senior partner at Shanghai DeBund Law Offices.
Microsoft is suspected of violating China’s anti-monopoly law in relation to problems with compatibility, bundling and document authentication, the SAIC said last week.
