nvidia debuts a brand new family of gaming chips, as the consumer electronics show kicks off in vegas. nippon and us steel fight back. the companies sue the biden administration for blocking their mega merger. hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. to the tech world, where consumer electronics show 2025 kicked off in las vegas. nvidia ceo jensen huang is delivering his keynote address probably the most important address at ces this year.

we did see the rtx 50 series debut. they are much more powerful but we see better and better chips every year at ces. what was really imprtessive to me was that the prices are going down. jensen huang just announced that you're going to be able to get an ai pc starting at $1300. there are about 200 million pcs shipped every year. this is the next phase of growth for them. the price point is correct so i think there's correctly a lot of enthusiasm by the investor community and the tech community in nvidia right now. nvidia has been showing great strength over the last year or so as ai has gathered pace and that shows no sign of slowing down? it doesn't but companies like openai are losing billions of dollars a year and so how to monetise ai will creep into the narrative. if the hyperscale data centre companies cannot make money on it, they will not be buying these chips. that's really the next challenge. there's an incoming trump administration into the white house in just a few weeks�* time. we know that the chip industry

is a bone of contention between the us and china. how might nvidia get caught up? interestingly, last month nvidia, the government opened a monopoly enquiry into them. greater china is about 12% of their revenue so it is significant and also interestingly today, the us government named tencent and catl as going on to restricted list because of alleged ties with the china military. we will see more tit—for—tat and it is farfrom over. and what is exciting for you at ces this year? everything is exciting but for me, really, this concept of making every pc, every smart phone into an ai pc and ai smart phone, and also going into the cars. ai in every device we own is what has got me really

excited this year at ces. the us defense department has added chinese tech giant tencent and battery maker catl to its list of companies that are allegedly affiliated with china's military. the bbc has heard from the chinese embassy in washington, who called the list an unreasonable suppression of chinese companies. tencent is a key player in china's technology sector, operating the wechat super—app. ina in a statement the company said... catl produces roughly a third of ev batteries sold globally. it called the designation a mistake. there shares are trading lower today. us steel and nippon steel have filed two lawsuits, after president biden blocked the japanese firm from taking over the american

steel giant last week. biden said he halted the deal, worth nearly fifteen billion dollars, on national security grounds. for now, nippon steel has 30 days to abandon its takeover offer. they are fighting back against an order to terminate the order. it would have been amongst the biggest merger in steel industry in the us in years. the companies claim president bytedance dr dall to pursue his physical agenda during the election season. —— president biden use the order. president biden use the order. president biden use the order. president biden maintained us steel should remain american for security reasons. there has been a strain with japan as a result. the prime minister of japan expressed concerns about the impact it might have on trade relations between the two nations and future investment by japanese firms. arrival

including a former microsoft executive and the boss of exor — an italian holding company. meta in india has appealed against an order of the country's anti—trust watchdog which had imposed a penalty of nearly $25 million against the tech giant last month. the bbc�*s arunoday mukharji isjoining us from delhi, arunoday, can you explain what's happened? meta has essentially appealed at the tribunal and the matter is going to be heard on the 16th of january. essentially this stems back to a new privacy policy from 2021 when essentially the social platform came up with an update which shared user data with other meta apps. the argument is that because of

the position in the market it did not give a choice of the consumer which undermined your sultanahmet which is against the act that exists here in india. meta maintained the new policy was not going to impact the users private messages at all but the matter is now going to be taken up by a higher authority at a tribunal when it will be debated. why this is all the more significant is all because our popular whatsapp remains in india. india is still its biggest market with over 500 million active users. a lot riding on this. this remains a significant legal battle. �* , . . remains a significant legal battle. , . . , , battle. australia is using the current home _ battle. australia is using the current home cricket - battle. australia is using the current home cricket test . battle. australia is using the | current home cricket test with india to boost tourism. the national tourism agency has
