China on Monday accused U.S. chipmaker Nvidia of violating its anti-monopoly law, a move likely to escalate already-tense trade relations between the two countries as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office for a second time. China's state market regulatory arm said the probe is related to Nvidia's 2019 acquisition of Mellanox, a global supplier of computer networking equipment. The U.S. and France have also opened investigations related to Nvidia's market dominance, though on different grounds. Trump has promised to levy stiff tariffs on China when he takes office. He recently picked former Georgia Sen. David Perdue, whom a Chinese think tank has accused of being "anti-China," for U.S. ambassador to China.

The probe serves as the latest escalation of a growing battle for AI dominance, which both the United States and China believe is crucial for national security. The memory chips are different than the graphics processors Nvidia makes, but they are also crucial technology that helps power AI. The administration’s new export controls are the third such round of chip sales restrictions to China. But China’s Commerce Ministry lambasted the United States’ restrictions, saying they pose “a significant threat” to the stability of global supply chains.

☆ Donald Trump Is Inheriting a Weaker Economy, Job Market Than It Seems

For Trump, this economy looks like a mirror image of the one he inherited in 2017. The soon-to-be Trump economy is facing down a trio of weak spots that could start to rear their heads pretty soon after Inauguration Day. Yes, the unemployment rate sits at just 4.1%, only a bit higher than its multidecade low. A variety of measures, however, suggest that the low headline unemployment rate overstates the degree of strength in the jobs market. In both cases, the unemployment rate was quite a bit higher, suggesting that the unemployment rate likely overstates the degree of health in the labor market.

☆ ByteDance, TikTok seek temporary halt to U.S. ban pending Supreme Court review
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-09 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Chinese-based ByteDance and its short-video app TikTok on Monday asked an appeals court to temporarily block a law that would require that parent company ByteDance to divest TikTok by Jan. 19 or face a ban, pending a review by the U.S. Supreme Court. On Friday, a three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the law requiring ByteDance to divest TikTok in the United States by early next year or face a ban in just six weeks. Lawyers for the companies said the prospect the Supreme Court will take the case "and reverse is sufficiently high to warrant the temporary pause needed to create time for further deliberation." Trump, who unsuccessfully tried to ban TikTok during his first term in 2020, said before the November presidential election he would not allow the ban on TikTok. In 2020, Trump also tried to ban Tencent-owned WeChat, but was blocked by the courts.

New York CNN —President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on the promise to create more American jobs and protect existing ones. For example, higher tariffs could help boost American manufacturing jobs if more businesses decide they want their goods made domestically to avoid the added cost of importing. That’s because, in response to being subjected to higher tariffs, impacted nations would likely impose comparable tariffs on American goods, he said. That could significantly raise American businesses’ costs while also reducing demand for their goods. Many American companies experienced this during Trump’s first term as China responded with tit-for-tat tariffs on American imports.
