The mainland’s business authorities are investigating the offices of Microsoft Corp, the US technology giant has confirmed.
The State Administration for Industry and Commerce sent its investigators to the company’s offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu today for an official investigation.
It is unclear why the company is being looked into.
Microsoft China spokeswoman Joan Li confirmed that the company was being investigated and said it would “actively cooperate” with the government. She did not specify what the investigation was about.
In late May, the mainland announced it would ban government use of Windows 8, Microsoft’s latest operating system.
