China’s response to a 10% tariff on imported goods enacted by the US on Feb. 4 includes an antitrust probe of Google and the targeting of other US companies including Nvidia and possibly chipmaker Intel.

The targeting of US companies is in addition to tariffs that China plans to enact on US energy and oil and agricultural equipment on Feb. 10. On Feb. 3, the enactment of tariffs against Mexico and Canada were avoided with last-minute 30-day delays, which could also be the case with China before the Feb. 10 levies.

China did not specify which of Google’s businesses would be the target of the antitrust investigation, but it could be related to its Android mobile software. China had previously threatened to investigate Google in 2020, and the website Ars Technica cited sources confirming that Android is central to the new investigation. Ars Technica also reported that US chipmaker Intel may be the target of a separate investigation.

Google did not immediately respond to an email about the investigation.

China also put PVH Corp, a holding company that owns Calvin Klein and the biotech company Illumina, on its “unreliable entity” blacklist, opening the door for potential sanctions against imports from those companies. 

PVH responded with a statement, telling outlets including CNN, “We are surprised and deeply disappointed to learn of the decision from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. In our 20 years of operating in China and proudly serving our consumers, as a matter of policy, PVH maintains strict compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and operates in line with established industry standards and practices.”
