China’s market regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation, will investigate if Qualcomm violated China’s antitrust law by omitting details during the acquisition.

The acquisition of the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) semiconductor company was announced in June this year.

Earlier this month, Qualcomm was charged with a £480 million lawsuit in London on the behalf of smartphone owners for overcharging on royalties on Apple and Samsung devices.

Last month Nvidia also faced investigations for violating China’s anti-monopoly laws.
