US chip giant Nvidia said on Tuesday it was complying with all laws after a Chinese investigation found it had violated competition rules, the latest development in a fierce technology battle between Beijing and Washington.
“We comply with the law in all respects,” an Nvidia spokesman told AFP in a written statement.
“We will continue to work with all relevant government agencies as they assess the impact of export controls on competition in commercial markets,” the statement added.
The California-based AI chip leader has found itself caught in a tense competition between China and the United States for supremacy in the critical semiconductor field.
Washington restricts Nvidia from exporting its most advanced products to China, and last month confirmed that the company would pay the US government 15 percent of revenue from certain AI chip sales in the country.
Beijing has responded by expressing national security concerns about NVIDIA chips and urging Chinese companies to rely on domestic semiconductor suppliers.
After opening an investigation into NVIDIA in December, China’s top market watchdog announced on Monday that the firm had violated antitrust laws, according to initial findings.
The statement did not provide further details about NVIDIA’s alleged violation and promised to conduct an additional probe.
China’s announcement came after officials from Beijing and Washington gathered for a second day of closely monitoring trade talks in Madrid.
After discussions, the two sides announced they had reached a “framework” deal to resolve the main dispute over TikTok, which calls for the Chinese-owned app to be transferred to US-controlled ownership.
Top diplomats and defense chiefs from the two nations held follow-up phone calls last week that analysts said could signal a step toward a meeting between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
