Sept 18 (Reuters) - China is ending an antitrust probe
into Google, as trade talks between Beijing and Washington
intensify over TikTok and Nvidia ( NVDA ) amid rising tensions between
the two countries, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
Google declined to comment to the FT, and did not
immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.
China's State Administration for Market Regulation has opted
to drop its competition investigation against Google, a status
known as "zhongzhi" in Chinese, the report said citing two
people briefed on the decision.
Google has not been formally notified of the decision to
drop the probe, FT said.
