China's cyberspace regulator summons Nvidia to explain H20 chip's ‘back-door' risks
China's cyberspace regulator has summoned Nvidia to explain whether its H20 chips have any 'back-door safety' risks, casting a shadow over the US chip giant's local operations. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the agency responsible for cybersecurity, said in a statement on Thursday that it had summoned and interviewed Nvidia regarding the risks associated with the potential tracking and remote control functions of its H20 chips. The regulator requested that the company provide explanations and relevant proof concerning those issues. The CAC said its inquiry was based on recent reports of 'serious security issues' involving Nvidia's chips, and demands from US lawmakers to add tracking features to advanced chips. Moreover, US artificial intelligence experts have indicated that remote control technologies related to Nvidia's chips have matured. The CAC did not specify the sources of that information. A bipartisan group of US lawmakers in May introduced a bill that would require makers of AI processors, including Nvidia, to incorporate technology verifying the location of their chips prior to export. The proposal aimed to tackle reports of US export-controlled AI chips being smuggled into China.

Malaysian airlines interested in China's C919 jet, country's transport minister says
Growing air travel in Southeast Asia and backlogs in Airbus and Boeing deliveries are driving regional interest in China's C919 passenger jet, according to Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke. China is promoting aircraft made by Shanghai-based Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) – including the C919, the country's first home-grown narrowbody airliner – as cheaper alternatives to aircraft manufactured by Airbus and Boeing. Loke told the Post recently that Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia and a new airline, Air Borneo, were among the airlines to have shown interest in the Comac aircraft. All airlines were looking to diversify their procurement of aircraft and were seeking faster delivery and cheaper options, Loke said. 'There is currently a long wait for aircraft delivery from Boeing and Airbus,' he said. 'For sure, Comac is one of the aircraft manufacturers looked at by airlines. 'AirAsia is interested … to look at them but nothing is confirmed. I am not privy to commercial negotiations.'
