CCTV9英语新闻：Domestic and foreign milk powder companies all under scrutiny

 

　　The NDRC says it has launched an anti-trust investigation¹ into a number of milk powder companies, Chinese and foreign included. Bios-time, Wyeth, Nestle, Mead² Johnson, Abbott and Dumex are all on the list.

　　The investigation is based on beliefs that these companies are holding an unusually large share of the Chinese market via high prices and limited market competition. So far four of these companies have confirmed that they’ve been contacted by the commission.

　　Dumex, Nestle and Wyeth have all promised a positive attitude in response to the investigation.
