The Chinese communist regime’s State Administration for Market Regulation announced on Dec. 9 that it had launched a probe of technology company Nvidia Corp over suspected violations of China’s anti-monopoly law.

Chinese state media reported that the investigation is focused on Nvidia’s acquisition of Israeli–American chip designer Mellanox Technologies, which China approved four years ago on the condition that Nvidia does not discriminate against Chinese companies.
