Oh, Nvidia, caught between a rock and a silicon chip! Just when you thought it was safe to return to the Chinese market, here comes Beijing with a magnifying glass—and it’s not for reading! Who knew chips could get grilled faster than a backyard BBQ in summer?

  • The U.S. previously banned these chips due to military use concerns but later reversed the decision.
  • China’s Cyberspace Administration suspects backdoor vulnerabilities in the chips.
  • The Chip Security Act mandates GPS-tracking in U.S. exported AI chips, fueling Chinese fears.
  • Nvidia denies the existence of backdoors and emphasizes its commitment to cybersecurity.
