China targets US tech giant Nvidia in new monopoly probe
China starts looking into Nvidiaʼs business methods as tech rivalry with US gets more intense. Both countries keep making new rules about who can sell what to whom in the chip-making world
Earlier this week China started checking if Nvidia breaks its competition laws‚ adding more heat to the us-china tech standoff. The probe comes right after Washington made new rules about selling high-tech stuff to China
The timing isnt random: just days ago the US gov banned companies from sending advanced chip-making gear to China. This move hits right at Chinas plans to build up its own tech industry
Beijing hit back with some counter-moves of its own. They put several us defense-focused start-ups on their no-trade list (which means these companies cant do business in China anymore). Plus they decided to hold back some important materials that chip makers need – a move that could make things harder for American tech firms
The investigation into Nvidia – which leads the world in AI chips – shows how both sides keep finding new ways to push back against each other. Its like a game of tech chess where each move gets answered with another move; but this game affects real companies and global tech supply chains
