China has launched an antitrust probe into AI chip giant Nvidia, amid deepening tensions with the US over technology.

Chinese state media on Monday night reported that the country’s market regulator had in recent days opened an investigation into Nvidia for alleged antitrust violations.

It cited the US chipmaker’s acquisition of Mellanox, an Israeli-American supplier of networking products.

The probe comes a week after Washington unveiled tougher export controls on advanced chips and chipmaking equipment to China, leading Beijing to respond immediately with an embargo on critical materials to the US.
