China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced on Friday that it has decided to initiate an investigation into Qualcomm for suspected violation of the Anti-Monopoly Law. 

Due to Qualcomm's acquisition of Autotalks without legally declaring the concentration of undertakings, which is suspected of violating the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China, the SAMR has initiated an investigation into Qualcomm in accordance with the law, according to a notice posted on the SAMR's website.
