What I find so funny with this whole thing is that China cannot produce another chip like this en masse. Also what the most recent person claimed is hilarious
The H20 chips are also not technologically advanced or environmentally friendly, the account, Yuyuan Tantian, which is affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV, said in an article published on WeChat.
This just builds upon the Chinese worry that there is a secret backdoor when not only is there not but there is no proof!
China’s cyberspace watchdog said on July 31 that it had summoned Nvidia to a meeting, asking the U.S. chipmaker to explain whether its H20 chips had any backdoor security risks — a hidden method of bypassing normal authentication or security controls.Nvidia later said its products had no “backdoors” that would allow remote access or control.In its article, Yuyuan Tantian said Nvidia chips could achieve functions including “remote shutdown” through a hardware “backdoor.”Yuyuan Tantian’s comment followed criticism against Nvidia by People’s Daily, another Chinese state media outlet.In a commentary earlier this month, People’s Daily said Nvidia must produce “convincing security proofs” to eliminate Chinese users’ worries over security risks in its chips and regain market trust.
I gotta say its pretty hard to prove something doesn't exist when there is no evidence of it and the idea behind it is almost technologically impossible. Certain Members of Congress wanted Nvidia to do this but Nvidia made it clear it wasn't that simple and they were not sure if it would even be possible.
