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

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.
