China Accuses Nvidia of Antitrust Violations Amid Geopolitical and Tech Industry Tensions
China’s market regulator has accused Nvidia of violating anti-monopoly laws, although specific details of the violations have not been disclosed. This announcement coincided with US-China trade talks in Spain, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, aimed at resolving trade disputes. Following the talks, the US hinted at a deal to avert a ban on TikTok, indicating a potential shift in the ongoing trade war. The investigation into Nvidia appears to be related to the broader battle over the semiconductor chip market, and the talks were likely to address which chips, including those from Nvidia, would be permitted to enter China.
