The adventures of Microsoft in China

Ming is a great cartoonist who publishes comic strips every day in the South China Morning Post, on the “Back Page” of the Business Section. His drawings are very much in sync with recent business or political developments.

Today, his “Bottom Line” goes as follows:

- Mr X: “China has begun an anti-monopoly probe into Microsoft”

- Mr X: “But what about all those oil, telecom and power companies that enjoy near monopolies?”

- Mr Y: “They’re different. They’re under state control and can run at a loss.”

Mr Ming doesn’t mince his words
