US semiconductor giant is trying to revive sales in the country.

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. 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. Paul Triolo, a China tech expert and partner at DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group, said he was “skeptical” about the claims of a deliberate back door being built into Nvidia hardware, pointing to the lack of detail in the announcement.
