China’s Antitrust Probe into Nvidia Marks New Phase in Chip Battle

US-China Chip War Escalates: China Targets Nvidia in New Investigation

China Investigates Nvidia in Escalating US-China Chip Conflict

China has launched an antitrust investigation into Nvidia, the world’s largest chipmaker for artificial intelligence (AI), marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tech rivalry between China and the United States. According to Chinese state media, the probe is part of a broader struggle for AI dominance, a key area both nations see as essential to their national security.

The Chinese government is examining Nvidia’s 2020 acquisition of Israeli networking company Mellanox, which it believes may violate antitrust laws, though specific details about the potential breach have not been disclosed. Despite the investigation, Nvidia’s acquisition was initially approved by China in 2020.

In response to the news, Nvidia’s stock fell less than 2% in premarket trading, but the company remains one of the hottest stocks on the market, having surged nearly 200% this year due to the AI boom. With a market value exceeding $3 trillion, Nvidia is second only to Apple in terms of market capitalization.

This probe is the latest chapter in the intensifying China-US chip war. Just last week, the Biden administration imposed a new round of export restrictions on high-tech memory chip sales to China, aiming to slow down China’s development of AI technology. While memory chips differ from the graphics processors Nvidia makes, both are crucial components for powering AI. This marks the third such round of restrictions, with the US government concerned that China could leverage AI for military advantages.

In retaliation, China’s Commerce Ministry criticized the US restrictions, claiming they pose a significant threat to global supply chain stability. To counteract the impact, China recently tightened its export ban on critical materials like germanium and gallium, which are essential for chip manufacturing. Previously, China had allowed some of these sales through loopholes, but these have now been closed.

Tensions are further exacerbated by accusations from senior US officials that China has been stealing American AI software—a claim Beijing denies.

The investigation into Nvidia intensifies the stakes in this tech battle. Nvidia, a key player in the AI revolution, could face significant setbacks if the probe undermines its business. In addition to the scrutiny from China, the company is also under antitrust investigation in the US.

Both nations are also doubling down on efforts to develop their own semiconductor industries. The Biden administration has invested billions through the CHIPS Act to boost domestic chip production, aiming to reduce reliance on China and other foreign suppliers. Meanwhile, China has announced a massive $47.5 billion state investment fund to advance its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, marking the largest such fund in the country’s history.

As the chip war continues to escalate, both China and the US are positioning themselves to secure a technological edge, with AI and microprocessors at the heart of their competition.
