China claims Nvidia built backdoor into H20 chip designed for Chinese market

In a controversial move, China has accused Nvidia, a leading US semiconductor company, of building a backdoor into its H20 chip designed specifically for the Chinese market. The H20 chip was intended to boost Nvidia's sales in China, but the Chinese government has now alleged that the chip contains a hidden backdoor that could potentially be exploited for surveillance or other nefarious purposes. Nvidia has denied these allegations, stating that the H20 chip is subject to the same security measures as all of its products. The company maintains that it is committed to providing secure and reliable technology to its global customer base, including in China. The dispute highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and China regarding technology and national security concerns. As Nvidia seeks to expand its presence in the lucrative Chinese market, the company finds itself at the center of a geopolitical tug-of-war, with both sides closely scrutinizing the security and integrity of the technology being used.
