2018 Xiaomi Antitrust Investigation

In 2018, Chinese regulators investigated Xiaomi, a major smartphone manufacturer, for potentially violating antitrust laws. The concern was that Xiaomi might have used its dominant market position to force mobile operators to bundle its apps and services, which could limit competition and harm consumers. The investigation aimed to ensure Xiaomi’s practices were fair and open, promoting a competitive market environment. Xiaomi cooperated with authorities, and the case highlighted the importance of maintaining fair business practices in the rapidly growing tech industry.
