The CAC did not specify which experts had found a back door in Nvidia’s products or whether any tests in China had uncovered the same results. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If you're going to make such a claim, you have to provide details.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the CCP's method for protecting the growth and development of local alternatives.

    USA has made similar claims against China, for instance Huawei and Chinese cars, and never been able to show anything.
    USA even made most of the world stop using Huawei in their infrastructure based on unproven claims!

    That's why I think that this as an attempt by the CCP to protect local industries.

    I am assuming that if H20 becomes openly available in China, local enterprise GPUs will find it difficult to compete.

    China very much want Nvidia chips, but they have to work around American sanctions. So Nvidia has to make chips specifically to China. AFAIK this has been negotiated at the highest level between China and Nvidia.

    I find you theory extremely unlikely, as China absolutely wants MORE Nvidia chips for AI development not fewer.

    But CCP authorities claimed that:

    It said US AI experts had “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”

    Which experts? Considering the CCP claims its American experts, there shouldn't be an issue with linking the research.

    Everything has a backdoor! One of the many reasons why everything should be opensource

    Lol isn't that just standard protocol for every chip vendor now including Chinese vendors?

    Governments have to pretend that its some huge slight everytime this happens unless it's isreal spying on the US for some reason. All the governments know the others are spying on them but you have to pretend to care.

    bill that would require chipmakers such as Nvidia to embed location tracking into export-controlled hardware

    How does this work?
