BEIJING, May 27 (Reuters) – China’s market regulator has fined Luxshare Precision Industry 900,000 yuan ($133,000) ​for unlawful implementation of ‌acquisition of some business of Wingtech Technology, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

• The State Administration ‌for ​Market Regulation said ⁠Luxshare, a key ⁠supplier of Apple, failed to properly declare its acquisition of part of Wingtech’s business in ​January 2025.

• The regulator began an investigation in ⁠September 2025 after ⁠Luxshare self-reported the deal ​earlier in February.

• The transaction involved ​Luxshare acquiring 100% control of ‌certain electronics manufacturing operations from Chinese semiconductor producer Wingtech via three subsidiaries.

• The regulator ⁠said the deal met merger filing thresholds but was implemented without prior antitrust ⁠approval, ‌violating China’s anti-monopoly ⁠law.

• Luxshare received a ​reduced ‌penalty after voluntarily reporting ​the breach ⁠and taking steps to improve compliance, the regulator added.
