China is calling its probe into Apple (AAPL) supplier Foxconn (HNHPF) “normal law enforcement” activity, and is urging Taiwan businesses to “play a more active role” in promoting peaceful cross-strait ties, Bloomberg reports. “The probes into whether companies are abiding by laws are normal law-enforcement activities, and in line with laws and regulations,” said Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the government department in Beijing that handles ties with Taiwan. Reports over the weekend said regulators are conducting tax audits and reviewing land use by Foxconn, which makes the vast majority of iPhones at factories in China.
