China has initiated antitrust investigations into Google, Nvidia, and is considering a similar probe against Intel. The focus on Google centers around the dominance of its Android operating system and its impact on Chinese smartphone manufacturers like Oppo and Xiaomi. The investigation into Nvidia, which began in December, continues, while the potential probe into Intel remains undefined, possibly influenced by US-China relations. These actions coincide with President Xi Jinping’s upcoming discussions with President Trump, amidst escalating trade tensions. The investigations are seen as retaliatory measures following new US tariffs on Chinese goods. Liu Xu from Tsinghua University’s National Strategy Institute noted that while these probes might not be the best approach for protecting Chinese companies, they could spark controversy. The Google investigation, initially started in 2019, was paused but has now been reactivated.
