I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE SO: China claims Nvidia built backdoor into H20 chip designed for Chinese market.

China’s cyber regulator on Thursday said it had held a meeting with Nvidia over what it called “serious security issues” with the company’s artificial intelligence chips. It said US AI experts had “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”

The Cyberspace Administration of China requested that Nvidia explain the security problems associated with the H20 chip, which was designed for the Chinese market to comply with US export restrictions, and submit documentation to support their case. The announcement comes as Nvidia is rebuilding its China business after Washington this month lifted a ban on H20 sales to the country.

After Washington’s U-turn, Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang visited Beijing to meet officials and customers. He stressed his company’s commitment to the Chinese market and introduced a new graphics processing unit based on the latest Blackwell series that is tailored to align with existing US export controls.

“Look, China, do you want the chips or not?” should be our official response.

And the thing is, they’re not humiliated. As long as they carried water faithfully for the Democrats, they feel they’ve done their job. Sure it was utterly false, dangerously divisive, and wrecked public trust in institutions. But as far as they’re concerned the only thing that went wrong was that it didn’t work.

Sad to say, but the WSJ newsroom started bending toward "27-year-olds who know literally nothing" quite a while ago.
