China has initiated antimonopoly investigations targeting U.S. companies such as Google, Nvidia, and possibly Intel. These actions are perceived as a response to U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by the Trump administration.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), which has been advocating for competition in the technology industry since 1972, expressed concerns over these developments. Matt Schruers, President and CEO of CCIA, stated that "U.S. businesses are increasingly attacked abroad through actions thinly disguised as investigations or regulatory interventions." He emphasized that these efforts aim to undermine U.S. competitiveness in sectors like AI, chipmaking, digital services, and operating systems.
Schruers also noted the importance of congressional inquiries directed at incoming Cabinet appointees regarding the defense of U.S. companies against discriminatory treatment by other countries. He remarked on recent technological advancements by DeepSeek as a reminder of the global race for technology leadership and its implications for the U.S. economy and national security.
"It is important to note when other governments are hamstringing U.S. companies’ ability to compete and consider how to respond," Schruers added.
