China's top internet regulator has summoned Nvidia to explain alleged security concerns linked to its H20 computing chips.
The Cyberspace Administration of China stated that the chips, which are sold domestically, may contain backdoor vulnerabilities that could pose risks to users and systems.
Instead of ignoring the issue, Nvidia has been asked to submit technical documents and provide a formal response addressing these potential flaws.
The chips are part of Nvidia's tailored product line for the Chinese market following US export restrictions on advanced AI processors.
The investigation signals tighter scrutiny from Chinese authorities on foreign technology amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and a global race for semiconductor dominance.
