The President’s Commercial War of the President with China has been launched on Tuesday, during which the White House provides 10% tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the United States. Silicon Valley’s largest companies are already catching what can turn into a number of titles between the two largest economies in the world.
On Tuesday, the Chinese state administration has announced that this anti-monopoly investigation is opened in Google (:GardenTo be in style Gogl) The agency did not provide other details about the step.
Wednesday, Reported Bloomberg that China is discussing an anti-monopoly investigation into Apple’s (Aapl) In the App Store practice. Samr officials have been talking to Apple leaders for some time, but the possible examination is collected by Apple as another collateral between the superpowers.

It is all part of China’s efforts to punish the most famous US companies and inflict its pain on the United States, as the two peoples continue to fight on it and in the coming weeks. Here are which companies will feel the heat and which should remain relatively defenseless. For now
Apple strikes both the US and China’s recent economic shootings. The United States removed things by throwing the mountain The tariff for goods made in Chinawhich includes Apple’s product and its most important iPhone.

It will have higher, potential prices on Apple devices, either by 10%, or force Apple to eat several or all tariffs, reducing the iPhone margins. Apple can also submit exclusion tariffs that made it during the initial trumpet. This will allow its devices to be made to the United States without collecting 10%. But so far there is no word about whether it can do it.
Now China is responding to Apple’s App Store practice through its antitrust investigation. The investigation itself is not unique. The European Union and other peoples have forced Apple to amend their App Store requirements and payment system in recent years. And the Department of Justice has He presented an anti-monopoly suit against AppleInsisting that this makes it unsteadily difficult for consumers to use a third-party apparatus or switch to another group of devices.
But the tariffs and China’s anti-monopoly actions are unlikely to significantly harm Apple finance.
According to BFA Securities Analyst Wamsi Mohan, Apple can move the device to other countries factories, something that company does in its supply chain.
If Apple builds 80% of its devices outside of China, only $ 0.05 will be earned in this fiscal year. If 50% of the outside China can rise between $ 0.07 per share.
China’s anti-monopoly disruption will be similar to Dentistry in Apple’s earnings, but it will not be WEPEOUT, Wedbush’s Dan Ives explained in the investor’s note.
The company has dragged $ 26 billion in services income, which includes the sale of the App Store in Q1 and $ 124 billion. According to IAVR, Apple is $ 5 billion a year through its Chinese App Store, which is a relatively thin piece of the company’s total pie.

“It’s less for investors’ impact and more US / China’s tension with the US Big Tem with Big Tem for responding to the whole bowl.”
Intel, Google and NVIDIA are also faced with the probable of anti-investigations as China’s responses, and it may matter specifically for Intel.
Chipmaker causes most of its income in China through sales. In 2024, China has made $ 15.5 billion in the company’s $ 53.1 billion. The second largest region of Intel was $ 12.9 billion.
Intel is in a Multiyear Truckound effort, the company puts a particularly insecure situation if China has decided to take certain actions against the company.
Google, in turn, is doing very little business in China. Years ago, after handing over its activities, the company sells advertisements for Chinese businesses who want to achieve foreign customers.
“It’s almost fun that China is discussing Google, as Google is efficiently banned there,” said Deepwater Asset Manyster.
Everything for Nvdia is a little shocking. The company puts pressure on both China and the United States after China launches an investigation into the company in December, President Biden’s move to restrict certain NVIDIA chips. And after the debut of Deepseek’s AI models, the company developed, using NVIDIA chips, the United States discusses the tightening of these export restrictions.
In Q3, China was $ 35 billion worth $ 5.4 billion, and $ 14.8 billion in US dollars. But as one of the largest markets in the AI ​​industry, China is an important part of the company’s general strategy.
It is not clear what the anti-monopoly probe means for NVIDIA, but if the United States makes the company limit more chips than it can leave the region.
So far, Big Tech must compete with US tariffs. But with China’s signal, it is ready to damage the Silicon Valley companies if the Trump is in the future, the firms will rest for some time.
