China probes Google for breaking anti-monopoly law, following fresh US tariffs

China announced on Tuesday that it has launched an antitrust investigation into Google for allegedly violating the country’s anti-monopoly law. An official notice from China’s State Administration for Market Regulation confirmed that the Android maker had been placed under investigation in accordance with the law.

Google is already under scrutiny for its monopolistic practices in several countries around the world, including its home country, where it lost a landmark case last year.
