The Chinese communist regime has launched an antitrust investigation into Qualcomm, targeting another U.S. chip giant amid ongoing trade tension with Washington.

The regime’s State Administration of Market Supervision said in a brief statement on Oct. 10 that the probe is related to Qualcomm’s acquisition of Israeli vehicle chipmaker Autotalks, a deal unveiled four months ago.
