China's Market Regulator Investigates Qualcomm
China's top market regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), has described its investigation into Qualcomm's acquisition of Autotalks as a routine law enforcement activity.
According to an official, the investigation was conducted under the country's anti-monopoly law, despite the deal falling below standard notification thresholds, due to evidence of potential anti-competitive effects.
- SAMR notified Qualcomm to file the concentration for review on March 12, 2024.
- Qualcomm stated it would abandon the transaction, but completed the acquisition in June 2025 without filing or communication with the regulator.
The authority intervened as it had evidence the merger could have an anti-competitive effect.
