Media Watch: Rumors hit chipmaker Nvidia amid US-China row

The escalating chip row between the United States and China has taken a sharp turn as tensions over semiconductor technology grow. With Donald Trump set to begin his new term as president in January, uncertainties surrounding U.S. policies are fueling speculation.

Amid this volatile environment, rumors targeting American chipmaker Nvidia have surfaced in China, particularly after Beijing in media reports in December 2023, months before China’s recent investigation against the American chipmaker.

The same photo was also in November that the chipmaker remained committed to maintaining its presence in mainland China.

Keyword searches found no credible reports or statements that show Nvidia’s plan to exit China.
