Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang explains the development of technology about ‘The Claman Countdown’.
Singapore-China said that a first probe discovered that Nvidia violated the country’s antimonopoly law, which increased the pressure on Washington during the last round of American trade discussions that ended on Monday.
The Antitrestrregulator of Beijing mentioned the violations in connection with Nvidia’s takeover of an Israeli company that was completed in 2020. The regulator said the investigation continued and that it was not granted about the provisional findings or saying whether the Nvidia would punish.
Beijing approved the deal after Nvidia corresponded to conditions, including guaranteeing the delivery of his chips to China. Since 2022, the US government has blocked Nvidia and other American chip vendors to sell many of their top-flight artificial intelligence chips to China.

The relocation of Beijing came only a few hours before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Reporters in Madrid said that the American and Chinese negotiators had reached a framework deal on TIKTOK after two days of commercial conversations. The two parties ran into a Wednesday Deadline to close a deal to make the popular app for sharing videos in the US
The shares of Nvidia fell around 1% in the morning trade. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bracing for nvidia, when the size matters
Nvidia has perhaps become the most profitable company that is being trapped in the crossfire of the trade conflict between the two largest economies in the world. The company sells the world’s most powerful chips, which are essential for building ultramodern AI.

In December, the Antitrust regulator of China, the state administration for market regulations, opened a probe in NVIDIA’s $ 7 billion takeover from the Israeli network-accelerator, Mellanox Technologies. A week earlier, the BIDEN-Administration has delivered checks about the access from China to high-end chips.
Antitrust lawyers who are familiar with the case said that Nvidia was in a difficult place because it had to stop the offer from his most advanced chips to China to meet American export controls, but that opened it to Beijing’s criticism. Chinese supervisors argued that Nvidia was violating its promise in 2020 to offer an uninterrupted range of chips to China and to treat Chinese customers equally, the lawyers said.

In July, President Donald Trump Nvidia allowed to resume the sale of his H20 chip, which is useful for AI infection. The chip was popular in China before Trump temporarily blocked his sale in April. Shortly after Trump had given the green light, Beijing brought concerned about possible cyber security risks of the chip and stopped companies to buy it until Nvidia was able to erase a regulatory assessment. Nvidia has said that his products have no external trackers or other ‘back doors’.
The company and its customers in China now hope that the Trump administration will approve an NVIDIA AI -Chip that is more advanced than the H20 -another subject that will probably end up on the negotiating table at the commercial discussions.

China has not been able to produce chips on a scale that are as powerful as the best Nvidia products, partly due to American limitations on advanced equipment for making chip. Yet Chinese companies make progress in replacing their own products for our chips.
By showing off with possible punishment from Nvidia about an antitrust problem, China wanted to show that it was not about to make concessions to get the products of the American company and on the way to self -supply in AI, Feng Chucheng, founder of the Beijing consultancy, Hutong Research. “Beijing probably indicated that Nvidia is not a negotiation vessel for the US,” he said.

National Champion Huawei has powered some AI data centers in the country with its self-developed chips. Other technical giants such as Alibaba and Baidu have also increased the use of home soil products in their infrastructure.
China has finished his domestic chip industry more aggressively since the first term of Trump with the aim of self-provision in the long term. At the same time, Beijing tried to gain access to the latest technology of the US and its allies for now to keep Chinese companies competitive in the technical race.
