Chinese state media says Nvidia H20 chips not safe for China
BEIJING (Reuters) -Nvidia's H20 chips pose security concerns for China, a social media account affiliated with China's state media said on Sunday, after Beijing raised concerns over backdoor access in those chips. The H20 chips are also not technologically advanced or environmentally friendly, the account, Yuyuan Tantian, which is affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV, said in an article published on WeChat. "When a type of chip is neither environmentally friendly, nor advanced, nor safe, as consumers, we certainly have the option not to buy it," the article concluded. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. H20 artificial intelligence chips were developed by Nvidia for the Chinese market after the U.S. imposed export restrictions on advanced AI chips in late 2023. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump banned their sales in April amid escalating trade tensions with China, but reversed the ban in July. China's cyberspace watchdog said on July 31 that it had summoned Nvidia to a meeting, asking the U.S. chipmaker to explain whether its H20 chips had any backdoor security risks - a hidden method of bypassing normal authentication or security controls. Nvidia later said its products had no "backdoors" that would allow remote access or control. In its article, Yuyuan Tantian said Nvidia chips could achieve functions including "remote shutdown" through a hardware "backdoor." Yuyuan Tantian's comment followed criticism against Nvidia by People's Daily, another Chinese state media outlet. In a commentary earlier this month, People's Daily said Nvidia must produce "convincing security proofs" to eliminate Chinese users' worries over security risks in its chips and regain market trust.

5 secrets for breaking through the entry-level job ‘glass floor'
From on-again-off-again tariffs, economic uncertainty, and layoffs, fresh graduates are in one of the toughest job markets in recent history. More than half do not have a job lined up by the time they graduate, and the unemployment rate for young degree holders is the highest it's been in 12 years, not counting the pandemic. Technological advancements are further making the situation harder, as artificial intelligence (AI) has wormed its way into the workforce, cannibalizing the number of entry-level jobs available. What's a young grad to do? I interviewed hiring managers, career advisers, and college students, and in this piece you'll learn: What out-of-work new grads need to be doing right now in their 'limbo' How to identify industries that are hiring you may never have thought of The right approach to developing AI literacy to stand out 1. Use limbo productively What several recent college grads refer to as 'limbo,' the time period between graduation and employment, is often regarded as an excruciating phase of uncertainty. Experts recommend using this time as an opportunity for gaining experience outside of traditional corporate work.

2 investment trusts I'd consider for long-term passive income
For my money, the best way to source a long-term second income is to invest in dividend-paying assets. I own a variety of stocks, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have a history of paying a large and growing income over time. Here are two that have caught my attention this month. I'll consider adding them to my Stocks and Shares ISA when I next have spare cash to invest. Growth and income potential At 11%, Henderson Far East Income (LSE:HFEL) has one of the highest forward dividend yields on the London stock market. This reflects in large part significant share price weakness in recent years that's inflated the yield. As its name implies, it provides significant exposure to China and the surrounding regions. Around 27% of its capital is tied up in Chinese equities alone. So amid signs of severe economic cooling there, it's no shock to see it fall in value. The trust's regained much ground in 2025, thanks to signs of improvement in China's economy. Yet with trade tensions simmering, it's possible the share price could turn lower again. However, I still think Henderson Far East Income is an attractive trust to consider. Its investment across a spectrum of Asian powerhouse economies (including Hong Kong, India and South Korea) provides abundant opportunities for shareholders to tap into. With continental wealth levels and population sizes booming, I think it provides excellent growth and income potential. The make-up of its portfolio also allows it to weather individual dividend shocks and pay a large and growing dividend. As well as providing excellent geographical diversification, the 70-plus companies it holds are spread across multiple sectors including financial services, consumer goods, real estate and technology. As you can see, annual dividends have kept steadily rising, even in spite of troubles in the key Chinese market. In fact, they've grown for 17 years on the bounce. Another top trust TR Property Investment Trust (LSE:TRY) doesn't have such a knockout near-term dividend yield. For 2025, it sits at a still-market-beating (but not double-digit) figure of 5%. What it does have however, is a similarly excellent record of unbroken dividend growth. Shareholder rewards have risen almost each year for around 20 years. TR invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) across Europe, including the UK. This makes it a reliable source of income as, under sector rules, these trusts must pay at least 90% of annual rental earnings out in dividends. That's in exchange for the tax breaks they receive. Many of these trusts focus on cyclical sectors like retail, leisure and industrials. And so rental collection and building occupancy are highly sensitive to economic conditions. But strong diversification across sectors helps limit such damage on overall returns. Healthcare, residential and food retail are also among the industries it has exposure to through the 48 REITs it holds. Today, the trust trades an a near-8% discount to its net asset value (NAV) per share of 352p. Combined with that large dividend yield, I think it's a great value investment trust to consider.
