Foreign firms 'must follow Chinese law'

Antitrust probes are not targeted at any particular company, senior official says

All foreign Internet businesses in China must follow the bottom line of safeguarding China's interests and the interests of its consumers, a senior official said on Wednesday.

The government's recent intensive antitrust investigations were conducted following Chinese laws and never purposefully targeted any enterprises, Lu Wei, minister of the Office of the CPC Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs, told a panel during the World Economic Forum in Tianjin. The forum opened on Wednesday and runs until Friday.
