Business Matters with Don Ma

Apple is in hot water with European authorities again. EU antitrust regulators said Monday the company's App Store conditions breach the bloc's tech rules. They accuse the U.S. tech giant of preventing app developers from steering consumer to alternative offers. It's a charge which could lead to a large fine for the iPhone maker. The accusation against Apple is the first by the European Commission under its landmark Digital Markets Act, or DMA.

China is pressing the EU to drop its new tariffs on the country’s electric vehicles. Duties of up to 38.1% are due to kick in on July 4, while the bloc investigates what it says are excessive subsidies. Now the two sides have agreed to resume talks on the matter, according to reports by state-controlled media in China.
