China state media says Nvidia H20 GPUs are unsafe and outdated, urges Chinese companies to avoid them — says chip is ‘neither environmentally friendly, nor advanced, nor safe’


State media wants Chinese companies to avoid Nvidia chips.

According to Reuters, the account, Yuyuan Tantian, is connected to China Central Television, which is a key organization in the country’s state media (propaganda) apparatus. Although the headlining statement is not from a government source, China often uses state-linked social media accounts to shape its agenda and signal changes in its official stance without making a direct commitment. So, the criticism may be part of a broader campaign to steer domestic firms away from foreign AI hardware and toward homegrown alternatives like Huawei’s Ascend chips.
