HONG KONG—Chinese authorities questioned Shanghai workers at consulting firm Bain & Co., underlining the mounting uncertainties facing foreign executives and businesses operating in China after a series of detentions and investigations.

The Boston-based company said Wednesday U.S. time that it was cooperating with authorities and declined to comment further. Shanghai police didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the reason for the visit, earlier reported by the Financial Times, which also said police took away computers and phones.
