BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP.AU) Tuesday said it is unaware of any
investigation by Chinese authorities into its operations in
China.
"BHP Billiton is unaware of any investigation," a BHP
spokeswoman told Dow Jones Newswires.
The miner's comments come after China last week detained four
Rio Tinto Ltd. (RTP) executives including the head of the company's
Chinese iron ore division, Stern Hu, and accused them of bribing
steelmakers to obtain state secrets.
