China's market regulator accused Nvidia of violating antimonopoly laws, citing non-compliance with conditions from its 2020 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies. The announcement follows a series of tit-for-tat actions between the U.S. and China, including antidumping and antidiscrimination investigations into chip imports and sanctions against Chinese companies. While no immediate penalties were announced, further investigation is underway. Nvidia stated its compliance with all laws and willingness to cooperate. This escalation occurred amidst ongoing U.S.-China trade talks in Spain, focusing on technology and semiconductors.
