China's Investigative Counterstrike: Nvidia Under Scrutiny for Anti-Monopoly Breaches

China has launched an investigation into Nvidia for potential anti-monopoly law violations, seen as a retaliation to U.S. export restrictions. The probe involves commitments Nvidia made during its purchase of Mellanox Technologies. Despite past curbs affecting Nvidia's China operations, analysts predict limited short-term impact.

In a strategic countermove, China has initiated an anti-monopoly investigation into Nvidia, targeting the U.S. chipmaker amid rising tensions over Washington's export restrictions on the Chinese semiconductor industry.

The scrutiny extends to Nvidia's acquisition commitments related to Mellanox Technologies, adding layers to an already complex geopolitical tech landscape.

Despite the retaliatory measures, experts suggest that Nvidia's immediate business operations are unlikely to experience significant disruptions due to existing limitations on advanced chip sales to China.
