US EditionNvidia Says No 'Backdoors' in Chips as China Questions Security
CHINA, JUL 31 – China's cybersecurity agency probes Nvidia's H20 AI chip for potential spying risks amid US-China tech tensions and strong demand for 300,000 units from Taiwan's TSMC, Reuters reported.
- On Thursday, the Cyberspace Administration of China summoned Nvidia to explain vulnerabilities and backdoors in its H20 AI GPU after flagging it as a potential spying risk.
- This month, after the United States lifted export restrictions, Nvidia said it would resume H20 sales to China.
- The regulator said it was concerned about Chinese user data and privacy rights, and asked Nvidia to submit proof that the H20 AI chip poses no spying risk, according to China's cybersecurity agency, CAC.
- The move created uncertainty over Nvidia's China sales prospects, as the Chinese regulator flagged potential backdoors and launched an antitrust probe.
- Experts predict China's tech firms will balance between Nvidia and domestic chips, with Tilly Zhang noting Nvidia chips can be easily negotiated as domestic alternatives improve.
