Microsoft Corp.’s Bing said it has suspended the autofill suggestion feature in China to comply with Chinese laws, while some users in the country said the search engine had become inaccessible.

By Friday, Bing’s China website had a notice saying it “was required by the relevant government agency to suspend the search auto suggestion feature in mainland China for 30 days” as per Chinese laws. It didn’t explain how the laws regulated the autofill function.
