According to Bloomberg News on Wednesday, China's antitrust authorities are contemplating initiating an investigation into Apple's policies and App Store fees. This development coincides with the implementation of new tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese imports. Concurrently, China has unveiled retaliatory measures against several American entities, encompassing Google, agricultural equipment manufacturers, and the proprietor of the fashion label Calvin Klein. Specifically, it is reported that China's State Administration for Market Regulation is scrutinizing Apple's practices, with a focus on its imposition of a commission of up to 30% on in-app purchases, as well as its restrictions on external payment services and alternative app stores.
