SHANGHAI—China’s market regulator fined Ford Motor Co’s main local joint venture 162.8 million yuan ($23.55 million) on June 5 for violating anti-monopoly laws, the latest automaker with foreign partners to face such penalties.

The move is another retaliatory measure as the trade war intensifies between the United States and China, and as Washington put Chinese tech giant Huawei on a trade blacklist.
