Chinese regulators have launched an investigation into American chipmaker Nvidia, citing alleged harm to fair competition.
This development comes as the semiconductor conflict between Beijing and Washington continues to escalate. The news, reported by DPA and shared by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV on Monday, highlights rising tensions over access to advanced technology.
Nvidia, one of the world’s leading semiconductor companies, is at the center of the dispute. The United States has been intensifying efforts to restrict China’s access to cutting-edge computer chips, which have applications in modern weapons systems. These actions, aimed at curbing China’s technological and military advancements, have drawn sharp criticism from Beijing.
Beijing responds to US policies
China has accused the US of undermining fair trade and economic exchange. Last week, Washington introduced further restrictions on the export of technology and software crucial for chip development and manufacturing. In response, Beijing imposed new limits on the export of key raw materials essential for semiconductor production to the United States.
The investigation into Nvidia reflects the broader struggle for dominance in the semiconductor industry, a critical sector for both economic and national security.
