China says preliminary probe shows Nvidia violated anti-monopoly law

China's State Administration for Market Regulation found Nvidia violated anti-monopoly laws and suspected breaches in its 2020 acquisition of Mellanox, escalating US-China semiconductor tensions.

  • China's State Administration for Market Regulation announced that a preliminary investigation indicates Nvidia has breached the nation's antitrust regulations.
  • In December 2024, regulators initiated an antitrust investigation targeting Nvidia's purchase of Mellanox, a chip company based in Israel.
  • The regulator added it would continue investigating Nvidia, which generates $17 billion in China, about 13% of its sales in the latest fiscal year.
  • Ahead of the market open, Nvidia’s stock declined by 2% as US-China semiconductor trade discussions continued this week in Madrid amid ongoing tensions.
  • The probe highlights rising scrutiny on US chipmakers in China, potentially leading to fines of 1% to 10% of annual sales and increasing pressure in US-China trade relations.
