Nvidia has risen to global leadership in artificial‑intelligence chips, but its success has placed it at the center of escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Successive U.S. administrations have imposed export controls that require Nvidia to ship reduced‑specification GPUs to China, spurring a black‑market for higher‑performance units. The Trump administration blocked sales of Nvidia’s H20 chip, a product designed for the Chinese market, before a deal allowed limited sales in exchange for a 15 percent revenue share to the U.S. government. Chinese regulators have since warned domestic firms against purchasing the H20, adding uncertainty to Nvidia’s Chinese business. CEO Jensen Huang has publicly criticized the U.S. curbs, calling them a failure that accelerates Chinese rivals’ development. Both Nvidia and China’s State Administration for Market Regulation declined comment. Read more →

China's State Administration for Market Regulation has opened an investigation into NVIDIA's $6.9 billion purchase of Mellanox, asserting that the deal violated national antitrust laws and the conditions China set when it approved the takeover. While no penalties have been announced, the regulator’s preliminary findings were kept confidential until now, coinciding with U.S.–China trade talks in Madrid. The original acquisition was announced in 2019 and approved by Chinese authorities the following year on the basis that NVIDIA would continue supplying GPUs and interconnect products under “fair, reasonable, and non‑discriminatory” terms.
