A social media account linked to state broadcaster CCTV claimed the H20 chips could have hardware 'backdoors.' According to these claims, such a feature could allow someone to bypass normal security checks or shut the chips down from a remote location. The same account also said the chips are not advanced in design and are not environmentally friendly. Other outlets, including People's Daily, called on Nvidia to give clear proof that the chips are safe to use. These reports reflect China's broader push to reduce risk from foreign technology and increase local supply in key sectors. On July 31, the chips contained any security risks. Reports cited unnamed American AI experts who said the chips could be tracked, located, and possibly disabled from outside the country. Nvidia Denies Allegations However, Nvidia has rejected all of these claims. The company said there are no backdoors in its products. In fact, Chief Security Officer David Reber said a built-in kill switch would be a permanent flaw that no responsible vendor would include. This dispute comes after the Trump administration blocked sales of H20 chips to China in April. That ban was lifted in July. The outcome matters for Nvidia's business, as China is a large market for AI hardware. Is NVDA Stock a Buy? average NVDA stock price target of $186.24.
