"As a matter of policy, we do not comment on speculative media reports including those related to ongoing investigations in China," AstraZeneca said.
"If requested, we will fully cooperate with the Chinese authorities," the company added and said that its operations and delivery of medicines were ongoing in China.
AstraZeneca is one of the biggest multinational drugmakers in China, which accounts for 13% of its overall revenue.
In 2022, Chinese authorities had summoned AstraZeneca officials over an investigation of suspected medical insurance fraud by its employees, and had ordered that the drugmaker tighten its marketing activities.
