 "China launches 'anti-monopoly probe' into Microsoft")
The Chinese authorities have reportedly launched an anti-monopoly investigation into US-based technology giant Microsoft.
After visiting some of Microsoft's local offices, the China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce said that it will probe allegations of monopoly actions undertaken by the company, reported the BBC.
The company responded by saying that it is ready to address any concerns that the Chinese government may have.
