China grants conditional approval for Synopsys to acquire Ansys
The approval comes after the United States lifted restrictions on exports to China for chip design software developers earlier this month, allowing companies, including Synopsys, to restore access to their software and technology for Chinese customers.
The Chinese regulator said it approved the deal based on restrictive commitments submitted by the companies, requiring the merged entity to fulfil several obligations.
The conditions require the companies to honour existing customer contracts, including pricing and service terms, and continue supplying electronic design automation products to Chinese customers on fair and non-discriminatory terms. The companies will also be required to maintain existing interoperability agreements and renew them upon request from Chinese customers.

Why China Loves and Fears Nvidia's H20 Chip
U.S. export controls on Nvidia's artificial-intelligence chips have been at the center of U.S.-China trade negotiations for months, yet it appears China is discouraging its companies from buying one of them: the H20s. Why? Sales of the chips to Chinese companies helped get China to agree to reboot its exports to the U.S. of rare-earth minerals used in cars, electronics and other products, according to U.S. officials. In more recent days, the Trump administration extracted an unprecedented 15% cut of chip sales to China by Nvidia and AMD in exchange for granting the companies export licenses, which could result in billions of dollars for the U.S. government. Beijing wants access to advanced Nvidia chips because its companies need them to help train state-of-the-art AI. The H20 isn't advanced enough to train large AI models, but it is one of the best chips on the market for powering inference, the ability of AI programs to tap their training to respond to user prompts. Still, Nvidia can't sell its most powerful chips used for AI training to China because of U.S. export controls. Chinese authorities are also worried about becoming too reliant on U.S. technology. They have repeatedly pushed domestic chip users to support Chinese chip makers whenever possible so that—eventually—the country can be self-reliant. China's Huawei and a few other companies already have chips that are useful for AI inference, similar to what Nvidia's H20 chips can do. But there are other obstacles. China's biggest issue with making chips for AI training is that its access to advanced chip-making equipment and other technology has been blocked by U.S. export controls that seek to maintain America's technology edge. That means even if they have good chip designs, they can hardly produce at scale. China's best chip manufacturer uses less advanced machines, keeping yields relatively low. Chinese engineers say companies often get hooked on Nvidia's software and tools, making them reluctant to switch to other vendors. Since the Trump administration relaxed controls on the H20 chip in July, major Chinese tech companies have ordered at least 700,000 of the chips, according to people familiar with the matter. The strong demand has prompted Nvidia to change course and arrange capacity with its contract manufacturer to make new H20s to meet the demand, the people said. Nvidia initially planned to use only existing inventory to fulfill orders. Nvidia declined to comment on its inventories or manufacturing plans. Some Chinese AI chip makers told officials in Beijing that U.S. export controls on chips had pushed Chinese companies to adopt homegrown alternatives faster and accelerate self-reliance. Trump's reversal, which will allow Nvidia chips to once again flow to China, could stymie that pace of improvement, they said. Some have also expressed skepticism about the security of Nvidia products. In late July, China's cyberspace regulator summoned Nvidia representatives to discuss alleged 'backdoor' security risks around the H20 chips, including the ability to track chip location and the possibility of a 'kill switch' in the chips that would be operable under U.S. orders. Chinese officials have also raised concerns over proposed U.S. legislation seeking to add tracking capabilities for advanced chips sold abroad. Nvidia and others in the industry have lobbied against the bill. The White House has said it wants to study chip tracking but hasn't weighed in on the legislation specifically. Chinese authorities have demanded that Nvidia go through a cybersecurity review before resuming shipments of the H20, according to people familiar with the matter. The authorities have told Nvidia's biggest Chinese customers, including Alibaba and TikTok parent ByteDance, not to buy Nvidia's H20s until the U.S. company clears the review, the people said. Nvidia has said there is no backdoor risk. 'Cybersecurity is critically important to us,' a company spokesman told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, reiterating that Nvidia chips don't have backdoors. 'The H20 is not a military product or for government infrastructure. China has ample supply of domestic chips to meet its needs. It won't and never has relied on American chips for government operations, just like the U.S. government would not rely on chips from China,' Nvidia's spokesman said. 'We hope to resume sales to approved commercial customers soon. Banning the sale of H20 in China would only harm U.S. economic and technology leadership with zero national-security benefit.'

India-China trade tensions ease! China loosens urea export curbs to India; move comes amidst Trump's tariff wars
India, which leads global urea imports, is expected to receive approximately 300,000 tons. (AI image) Big sign of easing tensions! China has relaxed restrictions on urea exports to India, signalling an improvement in diplomatic relations between the two Asian countries, particularly as both face trade challenges from US President Donald Trump's administration. India, which leads global urea imports, is expected to receive approximately 300,000 tons, sources told Bloomberg. China, traditionally a significant urea exporter, had previously limited its overseas sales of this nitrogen-based fertiliser in recent years. This Chinese policy shift follows Trump's recent trade actions, specifically the doubling of tariffs to 50% on Indian products as a consequence of New Delhi's Russian oil purchases, which has contributed to strengthening China-India relations.

Faced with EU sanctions on Russia oil, India's Nayara Energy ships diesel cargo to China Relations between India and China deteriorated significantly in 2020 following border confrontations. India has now lifted restrictions on tourist visas for Chinese citizens, and there are prospects of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping meeting during a summit in Tianjin beginning on August 31. India-China trade dynamics Nearly half of China's urea exports were destined for India in 2023. However, exports to all destinations stopped last year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Foods That Might Kill You Before Anything Else Does Undo Whilst Beijing eased restrictions in June, it maintained specific limitations on India until now. The trade flow, although currently modest, has the potential to expand substantially, potentially alleviating global supply constraints and reducing elevated prices. India's urea imports declined by approximately 20% to 5.7 million tonnes during the fiscal year that concluded on March 31, as reported by the Fertiliser Association of India. The organisation noted that purchases from China decreased to roughly 100,000 tonnes in 2024-25, a significant reduction from 1.87 million tonnes in the previous year. India's substantial agricultural sector and its domestic production shortfall necessitate considerable imports to ensure consistent fertiliser availability for farmers. The country maintains significant subsidies on urea, as this essential soil nutrient plays a vital role in enhancing the productivity of principal crops.

How Donald Trump's 50% US tariff bomb is pushing India closer to China
US President Donald Trump's threat of a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods is pushing Prime Minister Narendra Modi closer to BRICS nations, including China. This marks a significant shift in bilateral ties between India and China that saw their lowest point in 2020 following the Galwan Valley clash. Chinese President Xi Jinping and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Narendra Modi's latest move is to resume direct flights with China as soon as next month, people familiar with the negotiations, who asked for anonymity to discuss private matters, told news agency Bloomberg. The deal could be formally announced when Modi is expected to head to China for the first time in seven years and meet President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation held in Tianjin from August 31, the report added. India had suspended direct flights during the Covid-19 pandemic, which coincided with the Galwan Valley clash in east Ladakh that killed 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops. Henry Wang, president of the Center for China and Globalization think tank in Beijing, told the news agency that ties between India and China are in an 'up cycle", and as leaders of the Global South, 'they have to really speak to each other". 'Trump's tariff war on India has made India realise that they have to maintain some kind of strategic autonomy and strategic independence,' he added. Washington DC has long courted New Delhi as a counterbalance to Beijing in geopolitics but with Donld Trump's trade wars, China and India are finding common ground. Xu Feihong, China's ambassador to India, has offered Modi moral support over the tariffs. 'Give the bully an inch, he will take a mile,' Xu last week wrote on X over a quote from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi denouncing the use of tariffs 'as a weapon to suppress other countries.' --With assistance from Dan Strumpf, Sudhi Ranjan Sen, Mihir Mishra, Anthony Palazzo and Colum Murphy. Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton has warned that Donald Trump's tariff measures against India, intended to hurt Russia, could end up having the opposite effect by pushing New Delhi closer to Moscow and Beijing. "Trump's tariffs against India are intended to hurt Russia but they could push India closer to Russia and to China to oppose these tariffs," John Bolton told CNN in an interview. The former NSA further cautioned, 'Trump's leniency on the Chinese, and heavy-handed tariffs on India, jeopardise decades of American efforts to bring India away from Russia and China.' Trump's 50% tariff on India Modi's economic calculus was fundamentally altered this month when Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent as a penalty for its purchases of Russian oil. Donald Trump's remarks that India's economy was 'dead' and its tariff barriers 'obnoxious' further strained relations. China shows thaw signs China, also a prime target in Trump's trade wars, has shown signs it's ready for a thaw. This month, it eased curbs on urea shipments to India — the world's largest importer of the fertilizer. Although initial volumes are small, the trade could expand, easing global shortages and prices. China relaxed the ban in June but had maintained restrictions on India until now. Adani Group's investments The Adani Group is reportedly in talks with Chinese electric vehicle major BYD Co. for a potential partnership that could enable billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate to produce batteries in India, further expanding its clean energy footprint.
