I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

NVIDIA's employees in China are expected to increase to 4,000, particularly in the field of autonomous driving technology. The company is strengthening its research team by adding hundreds of new employees and expanding its after-sales service and network software development teams. Despite facing U.S. trade restrictions, NVIDIA's quarterly sales in China still reached $5.4 billion, highlighting the importance of the Chinese market. The company has also received approval from the Chinese government to acquire Israeli network equipment manufacturer Mellanox for $7 billion, subject to relevant conditions

According to Zhitong Finance APP, NVIDIA (NVDA.US) has significantly strengthened its research team in China this year, particularly in the field of autonomous driving technology, by adding hundreds of new employees. According to insiders, by the end of this year, NVIDIA's total number of employees in China is expected to increase from about 3,000 at the beginning of 2024 to about 4,000, with approximately 200 new employees added in the Beijing area to enhance autonomous driving research. In addition, the company has expanded its after-sales service and network software development teams, reflecting its comprehensive expansion strategy in China.

NVIDIA's total number of employees in China is nearing 600, and it has established a new office in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Center, further consolidating its research and market position in China. As the second-largest semiconductor company by market capitalization globally, NVIDIA is expanding its workforce worldwide to meet the high demand for artificial intelligence chips. Despite facing U.S. trade restrictions that prevent it from selling its most advanced semiconductors in China, NVIDIA's quarterly sales in China still reach as high as $5.4 billion, highlighting China's role as an important market and research center for the company.

Furthermore, the strong support from the Chinese government for domestic electric vehicle manufacturers has not only positioned China as a leader in electric vehicle technology but has also effectively reduced the costs of new connected vehicles. NVIDIA, as a deep player in the fields of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence software, has not yet fully translated its efforts over the past decade into significant results. However, its research team in China is now capable of collaborating with local automakers to jointly advance technology development and enhance product competitiveness.

It is worth mentioning that NVIDIA was previously investigated by the State Administration for Market Regulation for allegedly violating China's antitrust laws. Despite facing regulatory challenges, NVIDIA successfully obtained approval from the Chinese government to acquire Israeli network equipment manufacturer Mellanox for $7 billion, but must comply with a series of conditions, including providing new product information to competitors and ensuring the technological compatibility of Chinese chip manufacturers
