Nvidia's China Nightmare? H20 Chip Faces Backdoor Allegations in High-Stakes Trade Showdown
China's been turning up the heat on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and not in a good way. This week, the country's top internet watchdog summoned Nvidia reps over what it calls serious security risks tied to the H20 chipa product Nvidia designed specifically to meet U.S. export rules. State media pulled no punches either. In a commentary published Friday, the People's Daily warned of potential chip backdoors triggering a nightmare, saying it couldn't allow infected semiconductors into its digital infrastructure. Nvidia responded firmly: Cybersecurity is critically important to us, adding that its chips don't contain any remote access pathways. Still, in today's geopolitical climate, that reassurance may not be enough. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Here's where things get messier. Just a few weeks ago, the U.S. agreed to lift restrictions on H20 sales to China as part of a broader deal involving rare-earth magnetsmaterials critical for everything from smartphones to fighter jets. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had framed the H20 resumption as a meaningful breakthrough after bilateral talks in London, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the magnet issue was solved. But with Beijing now putting the H20 back under the microscope, it's unclear whether Nvidia has actually received the licenses it needs to ship the chips. And if China decides the H20 isn't up to pareither technically or politicallythose sales may stall before they even start. Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang has been walking a tightrope. Fresh off a high-profile visit to Beijing, Huang praised China's AI momentum and national champions like DeepSeek, all while pushing back on the idea that Nvidia would ever install surveillance backdoors into its products. He called the suggestion not only false, but bad business. Still, the reality is this: Nvidia's H20, already weaker than its flagship GPUs, now faces a political test that could matter more than its specs. Investors watching the tech standoff might want to pay close attention to what happens nextbecause this chip is turning into a geopolitical bargaining chip. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Wall Street Circles Starbucks as China Deal Heats Up--Tech Giants and PE Titans in Bidding War
Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is quietly making moves in Chinaand Wall Street's watching. The coffee giant has invited a dozen heavyweight investors, including Carlyle, KKR (NYSE:KKR), EQT, and tech majors (NASDAQ:JD) and Tencent (TCEHY), into the next phase of bidding for a stake in its China operations. According to people familiar with the matter, these shortlisted parties are now reviewing financials and preparing formal proposals. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol emphasized this isn't about raising capital. What this is about, he told analysts, is how do we ensure that the Starbucks brand is in a much better place in the future. Starbucks plans to retain a meaningful stake and is not looking to fully exit. The stakes are high. China is Starbucks' second-biggest marketbut it's also one of the most competitive. Local rival Luckin Coffee has surged ahead with cheaper drinks, faster innovation, and aggressive expansion. To stay relevant, Starbucks has started adapting its menu with more affordable fruit teas and sugar-free options. And early signs suggest it's working: same-store sales in China turned positive last quarter for the first time since late 2023. A local partner with tech and consumer insight could help Starbucks move faster, optimize supply chains, and deepen its mobile platform strategy in a market that increasingly rewards speed and price. This process has drawn interest from over 20 potential backers, though only a dozen have made it to this second round. Starbucks isn't seeking a full salebut it is exploring how to tap deeper into China's fast-evolving consumer landscape. While no deal is guaranteed, more players could enter later stages as discussions evolve. With long-term ambitions to grow its China store count from roughly 7,800 to 20,000, the right strategic partner could be a pivotal lever for Starbucks' next act in Asia.
