China is demanding Nvidia prove its H20 AI chips don't contain backdoors or security flaws, escalating tensions in the global chip trade. Chinese state media warned that backdoor risks could become Nvidia's "self-dug grave," potentially driving away customers worldwide who fear remote shutdowns or data theft. This comes after the Trump administration recently allowed less sophisticated AI chip exports to China with a 15% fee, reversing stricter 2022 restrictions. Nvidia's chief security officer firmly denied any backdoors exist in their chips, calling such claims harmful to global digital infrastructure. The dispute reflects deeper US-China tensions over AI technology and national security, with China working to build its own chip ecosystem while reportedly obtaining 140,000 AI chips despite previous US bans.
