Trade War: China To Probe Google Over Anti-monopoly Violations by Leobankx(m): 10:57am On Feb 04
China on Tuesday said it would probe US tech giant Google over violations of anti-monopoly laws after Washington slapped 10 percent levies on Chinese goods.

Beijing’s State Administration for Market Regulation said the US tech giant was “suspected of violating the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China”.

It has “launched an investigation into Google in accordance with the law” as a result, the administration said in a statement.

It did not provide further details about the allegations against Google.

The US tech behemoth’s core search engine and many of its services are blocked in mainland China, where US internet titans have long struggled with doing business due to the “Great Firewall” that blocks politically sensitive content.

Google in 2011 abandoned its Chinese-language search engine in the mainland and transferred it to Hong Kong.

By 2014, China blocked the last remaining way to access Google’s email service Gmail.

Beijing also said Tuesday it would add US fashion group PVH Corp. — which owns Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein — and biotech giant Illumina to a list of “unreliable entities”.

The move would “safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, in accordance with relevant laws”, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement.

The above two entities violate normal market transaction principles, interrupt normal transactions with Chinese enterprises, and take discriminatory measures against Chinese enterprises,” it added.

China in September said it was investigating PVH for an “unreasonable” boycott of cotton from its Xinjiang region, where Beijing is accused of widespread rights violations.

AFP has reached out to all three firms for comment.

The United States on Saturday announced sweeping measures against major trade partners, with goods from China facing an additional 10 percent tariff on top of existing duties.

Trump said the measures aimed to punish countries for failing to halt flows of illegal migrants and drugs including fentanyl into the United States.

The hypocrisy of China stinks, the US for years have allowed your Social media apps, your e-commerce apps to work without issues but there's no single US social media app that is allowed to function in China, including Facebook and X, even Google was fire walled.

You benefit from other countries population but don't want others to benefit from yours, infact a friend in China said you can't even access most Nigerian websites from China including Nairaland.

if they don’t do that their own wont stand a chance . Nigerians for example use more foreign apps than local ones. And we still pay them for adverts and account verification

The United States may have flaws, but I will never pray for China, Russia, or North Korea to become world powers. Never. Do we ever think China will provide billions of dollars in aid to developing and underdeveloped countries? Most of the time, I just smile when I read comments here that praise Palestine, Russia, or China. If you understand the intentions of these nations...... all is well.

Just found out today that USAID funds the BBC
USAID has been basically funding everything that has been going wrong with our world in the past few decades.
-Media propaganda
-LGBTQ propaganda
-Covid-19 propaganda
-The list goes on forever

The USAID funds foreign media then are beholden to their narrative, this narrative gets repeated by other foreign and U.S. media, which then feeds into legislative action, judicial decisions, and academic reactions both in the U.S. and abroad. It’s a loop to affect global change.

Nairaland works very well in China. There are uncountable US companies in China but a few ones like Google, Facebook et al refused to abide by Chinese rules.

Trump has been on a rampage with tariffs and trade wars, but it looks like China just clapped back. Google is now under investigation for anti-monopoly violations, and China is adding big U.S. companies to its “unreliable entities” list. This is classic tit-for-tat—Trump slaps tariffs, China hits back where it hurts. With all the drama he's been stirring, he finally met a worthy opponent. This trade war is far from over, and things are about to get even messier.

China is developing lots of countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East and even European countries simultaneously through BRI without noise. They don't meddle in other countries politics and they have made it possible for everybody to have access to all home appliances, gadgets etc. The West could have prefered people to keep seeing mobile phones and DVD players as things meant for kings if not for China.

China have demystified car manufacturing that ordinary man now have a taste of what brand new vehicle looks like and even own one. They are even offering partnerships to anyone that can afford one million dollars to start assembling cars and trucks in any name of your choice anywhere you want it in your home country. That's why you are seeing Innoson, Nord, JetMover, all manner of Hiace bus variants being used by transporters.
No western country could have done that. Never.
They'd prefer calling you monkey and having you leak their asses.
