From Yahoo: Chinese internet regulators last week summoned Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) staff over alleged security risks with its less-advanced H20 chips. The action, citing calls from US lawmakers to build tracking features into the most powerful semiconductors, has yet to lead to any type of formal ban or restrictions.
Either way, analysts see the move as not so much about the H20s, which Chinese state-backed entities have publicly employed for some time, but rather an easy way for Beijing to send a series of messages about the US plans: Domestic firms should be cautious, the world should be wary and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang should influence the White House to shift course.

Nvidia on Tuesday declared its opposition to any sort of backdoors, saying they enable hackers and undermine trust in US technology.
“There are no back doors in Nvidia chips. No kill switches. No spyware,” Nvidia said in a blog post. “That’s not how trustworthy systems are built — and never will be.”
