the chinese government is an absolute hypocrite here once again
Going tit-for-tat with the US on investigations of rival tech companies isn’t hypocritical, its retaliatory. This is a strategic response to an escalating tech sector trade war.
Nvidia is probably the defacto monopoly corporation that deserves an anti trust probe the least because competition isn’t even trying
NVIDIA has acquired 23 different companies in the last 5 years. Six in 2024 alone. Back in 2020, they straight up bought out ARM for $40B, eliminating an enormous chunk of their domestic competition. This was a strategic prelude to cornering the manufacturing of AI-centric hardware.
These mergers never should have been allowed to take place. They’ve squashed anything resembling competitive pricing and created a choke point in distribution that the bigger tech companies have exploited to crowd out competitors in the nascent AI industrial space. In a sane world, an anti-trust claim would be open-and-shut. NVIDIA is caught red-handed in the act. They’re straight up bragging about it to their investors. Its the singular reason for their skyrocketing stock price.
The only incentive rivals have, at this point, is to get large enough for a company like NVIDIA to buy you out. There is no competition because the market has already been cornered.
Are you implying China didn’t ban most western networks and isn’t a state capitalist economy? Hardly anything reactionairy about it, it’s daily business for them since the dawn of the internet.
Last time I checked the US started all this witch hunt and trade war, as they are worried their global influence is waning with China gaining foothold in Africa, Asia and even South America.
So call me sceptical but the US doesn’t care for the Uighurs, or any other human rights violations that China is involved in, they are just protecting their trade interests.
And yes, this antitrust case should have been open against NVIDIA ages ago.

Retaliatory is not reactionary. Very different meanings.

You should check again and realize most major US platforms have always been banned in China.
