China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced today that it has opened a case and launched an investigation into Qualcomm over its acquisition of V2X chipmaker Autotalks, for suspected violation of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law due to an alleged failure to file a concentration of undertakings.
