China Says Nvidia ‘Violated’ Antitrust Law

Beijing - which announced the investigation in December - is currently engaged in an intense contest with the United States for supremacy in the critical field of semiconductors.China said Monday that an investigation found US chip giant Nvidia had run afoul of the country’s antitrust rules, and vowed an additional probe just after trade talks between Beijing and Washington entered a second day.

Beijing which announced the investigation in December is currently engaged in an intense contest with the United States for supremacy in the critical field of semiconductors.“Following a preliminary investigation, it has been determined that NVIDIA Corporation has violated the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China,” a statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation, Beijing’s top market watchdog, said.

The SAMR “has therefore decided to conduct a further investigation into the matter in accordance with the law”, it added.The statement did not provide further details about Nvidia’s alleged legal violations or the further probe.California-based AI powerhouse Nvidia reported earnings last month that raised concerns about its business in China, which has come under increasing scrutiny in Washington as tensions over trade and geopolitics mount.

About an hour before the SAMR announcement, officials began a second consecutive day of bilateral trade talks in Madrid, seeking to narrow differences on a range of issues that have soured ties.

EU Reaches Accord On New Generation Of Genetically Modified Crops

EU Reaches Accord On New Generation Of Genetically Modified Crops

The European Union has reached a provisional agreement on a new legal framework for plants developed through New Genomic Techniques (NGTs), a modern form of genetic editing that alters small parts of a plant’s DNA without introducing genes from other organisms. EU officials say the move is aimed at boosting agricultural competitiveness, improving food security, and reducing dependence on external imports. Supporters argue that NGTs can help produce climate-resistant crops with higher yields while reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides. However, while some NGT plants will face relaxed regulations, herbicide-resistant and insecticide-producing varieties remain banned, and NGTs will not be allowed in organic farming. Environmental groups continue to raise concerns over traceability, labelling, and potential ecological risks.

Women Don Fake Mustaches In LinkedIn ‘Gender Bias’ Fight

A growing number of women on LinkedIn are disguising themselves as men—changing their names, pronouns, and even posting photos with fake mustaches—to test alleged gender bias on the platform. Many reported dramatic spikes in reach and engagement after switching to male identities, prompting renewed calls for greater transparency in how LinkedIn’s algorithm promotes content. While LinkedIn denies using gender as a ranking factor, users say the experiment highlights long-standing concerns about hidden gender disparities in professional visibility.

Humanoid Robots To Trial Guiding Crowds At Chinese Border Crossings

Humanoid Robots To Trial Guiding Crowds At Chinese Border Crossings

Humanoid robots may soon be guiding travellers and managing crowds at Chinese border crossings after Shenzhen-based UBTech Robotics secured a $37-million contract for a major trial project near China’s border with Vietnam. The initiative will deploy UBTech’s latest “Walker” humanoids to test real-world applications including border management support, logistics handling, and factory patrols. Deliveries of the self-charging robots are expected to begin in December, though it remains unclear whether they will operate autonomously with AI or be remotely controlled. China continues to push aggressively into humanoid robotics, with industry forecasts predicting domestic sales could hit 82 billion yuan ($11.6 billion) by 2025. Despite concerns about overcapacity in the sector, UBTech says demand for its Walker series—now generating 1.1 billion yuan in sales this year—continues to surpass expectations.
