Neowin posted a story that China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce says that Microsoft has not been 'transparent' in disclosing data on its Chinese sales

Chinese authorities have been investigating Microsoft over alleged antitrust violations for several weeks now, since carrying out a raid on the company’s offices in four cities across the country last month. A second raid, which targeted more of Microsoft’s facilities in China, followed a few weeks later.

China’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) has previously stated that it has been investigating the company under domestic anti-monopoly laws. The SAIC briefed media in Beijing today, as Reuters reports, claiming that Microsoft has not been ‘fully transparent’ regarding the disclosure of data on its sales in China.

The head of the SAIC, Zhang Mao, did not go into detail regarding its investigation, describing it as “presently ongoing”, and adding that the regulator “will disclose the results to the public in a timely fashion.” Zhang also remarked that the probe into Microsoft was one of nine active investigations across multiple industries – including technology, tobacco, insurance, tourism and utilities; and involving companies of various backgrounds – foreign, domestic, state-owned companies and trade associations.
