China rules that Nvidia violated its antitrust laws


Regulator’s statement comes as US and Chinese officials meet in Madrid for trade talks.

Nvidia had failed to fully comply with provisions outlined when it acquired Mellanox Technologies, an Israeli-US supplier of networking products, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said on Monday. Successive US administrations have imposed export controls that have forced Nvidia to sell watered-down versions of its must-have graphics processing units in China, giving rise to a large black market of smugglers who illegally bring its more advanced processors into the country. Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, who has made frequent visits to China in a signal of his commitment to a crucial overseas market, has previously criticized the US curbs as a “failure” that has spurred Chinese rivals to accelerate development of their own products.
