The Chinese market organizer said on Monday that NVIDIA violated the country’s anti -pregnancy law, according to an initial investigation, adding that Beijing will continue to be achieved in the American chips giant.

NVIDIA shares decreased about 2 % in the pre -market trade.

Late last year, the SAMR (SAMR) management opened an investigation into NVIDIA regarding the Mellanox acquisition and some of the agreements that were held during the acquisition. NVIDIA got the Israeli technology company that creates solutions to the network for data centers and its servers in 2020, in a deal that China agreed to at the time with some conditions.

In a preliminary investigation, Samr said that NVIDIA violated the laws against pregnancy in relation to this acquisition and its circumstances. China’s market organizer has not determined how Nafidia has violated the country’s laws.

“We comply with the law in all respects,” a NVIDIA spokesman said in a statement. “We will continue to cooperate with all relevant government agencies because they evaluate the impact of export controls on competition in commercial markets.”

The update from SAMR has the possibility of complicating commercial talks between Chinese and American officials It started on Sunday in Madrid, Spain.

Tensions between Beijing and Washington seem to rise on the technology front. China has opened two separate investigations in semiconductors on Saturday: one of them is the fight against dumping in some of the chips imported from the United States, while the other is to scrutinize the fight against American restrictions on the chips industry in China.

NVIDIA has had a turbulent relationship with the Chinese market in recent months, as the company has been arrested in geopolitical volatility. Earlier this year, the NVIDIA H20 product, a chip that is specially designed to comply with the American export restrictions, was banned from sending it to China.

CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang He publicly called to allow American companies to sell to China, The local artificial intelligence market is likely to reach about $ 50 billion in the next three years. Huang said that if American companies are not present in China, the local players love Huawei will fill the void.

The pressure on this work seems to be. Last month, Nvidia concluded a deal with Washington that would allow the technology giant to resume chip sales to China in exchange Abandoning 15 % of these revenues to the American government.

Huang and the United States government discusses the possibility Exporting a more advanced segment to China.
