China is reportedly set to initiate a new antitrust investigation into Apple's App Store practices, in response to the recent trade tariffs imposed by the United States. These tariffs, criticized for affecting American businesses rather than intended foreign targets, have spurred China to retaliate. The investigation, rumored to be handled by China's State Administration for Market Regulation, may challenge Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases and restrictions on alternative payment services. This follows a previous inquiry that cleared Apple of antitrust violations, underscoring the ongoing tensions in U.S.-China tech relations.
China is preparing a new antitrust investigation into Apple's App Store practices, likely as a retaliatory measure against U.S. trade tariffs.
The ongoing scrutiny marks a continuation of tensions due to escalating trade conflicts and Apple’s previous encounters with Chinese regulators.
