Bloomberg cites sources saying that Nvidia has opened a new office in Beijing's Zhongguancun district and hired 600 locals in the last several years. Zhongguancun is a significant center for technological innovation located to the north-northwest of Beijing.
Since acquiring Mellanox Technologies, the firm has been the subject of an inquiry in China regarding possible breaches of the anti-monopoly statute. This investigation is the most recent twist in the ongoing dispute between the United States and China over semiconductor technology.
US-China Semiconductor Tensions Deepen
The United States has implemented export restrictions and sales bans in an effort to limit China's capacity to advance semiconductor technology. China retaliated by banning the export of commodities that could be utilized in the advancement of technology and the military.
On the other hand, China is a significant market for the American chipmaker. Yahoo Finance explains that because it has a larger workforce, it may be able to expand its research into driverless automobiles driven by artificial intelligence in collaboration with local automakers.
Nvidia employed around 30,000 people across 36 countries as of February, when the company's documents were published.
