Nvidia must provide 'security proofs' to regain trust:China state media
Foreign companies must comply with Chinese laws and take security to be a basic prerequisite, said the commentary - titled "Nvidia, how can I trust you?" - which was published on the paper's social media account.
In a statement sent to Reuters, an Nvidia spokesperson reiterated that "Cybersecurity is critically important to us".
"NVIDIA does not have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them," the spokesperson said.
The commentary appeared a day after Beijing raised concerns over potential security risks in Nvidia's H20 artificial intelligence chip, casting uncertainty over the company's sales prospects in China weeks after a U.S. export ban was reversed.
The Cyberspace Administration of China, the country's internet regulator, said it was concerned by a U.S. proposal for advanced chips sold abroad to be equipped with tracking and positioning functions.
The regulator said it had summoned Nvidia to a meeting to explain whether its H20 AI chip had any backdoor security risks, as it was worried that Chinese user data and privacy rights could be affected.
A backdoor risk refers to a hidden method of bypassing normal authentication or security controls.

China welcomes 183 Brazil coffee sellers in wake of US tariffs
By Ana Mano SAO PAULO (Reuters) -China has approved 183 new Brazilian coffee companies to export products to the Chinese market, according to a social media post of the Chinese embassy in Brazil on Saturday. The measure, a boon to local exporters after the United States government's announcement of steep tariffs on Brazilian coffee and other products, took effect on July 30. The new Chinese export permits are valid for five years, according to the post. The U.S.'s 50% tariff on some Brazilian products will begin on August 6. The levy represents a challenge for commodities traders and Brazilian coffee exporters, who need to find alternatives for the roughly 8 million bags sold to U.S. coffee processors every year. China is Brazil's top trade partner overall while the U.S. is a big buyer of Brazilian beef and orange juice, among other products. In June, Brazilian coffee exports into the U.S. totaled 440,034 60-kilo bags, 7,87 times more than Brazil's sales into China of nearly 56,000 bags that month, according to trade data compiled by industry lobby Cecafe. The Brazilian ministry of agriculture and Cecafe did not have an immediate comment. China's customs authority could not be immediately reached as it was outside the business hours. Brazil supplies about a third of the U.S. coffee demand each year, a trade valued at $4.4 billion in the 12 months ended in June.

Trump's ‘Buy 3, Not 30' Comment Is Actually Smart Budgeting Advice — Here's Why
In May of this year, as President Donald Trump was rolling out his controversial tariff policies against America's trade partners, he received a great deal of criticism from economists and consumers alike over fears his tariffs would drastically increase prices of goods (especially those imported from China). Critics of Trump's trade policy even noted that children's toys and dolls would increase in price. The president's response was, to put it fairly, typically blunt. Check Out: For You: 'I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs — that's 11 years old — needs to have 30 dolls,' Trump declared on the May 4 episode of NBC's Meet the Press, noting that if dolls become more expensive, simply buy less dolls. 'I think they can have three dolls or four dolls because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China…I'm just saying they don't need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five.' While there is an irony to a billionaire — one famous for his lavish wealth and a penchant for 24-carat gold decor — suggesting working-class Americans should refrain from buying multiple toys for their children, and should instead purchase such things in moderation, there is a sound objective truth to Trump's statement. Americans Spend Nearly $6,000 on Children's Toys Over a Lifetime Per The Guardian, the average American family spends $600 yearly on toys; that's approximately $6,000 over the course of a decade of childhood. That's $6,000 not being spent on medical care, college savings or family bills. That's a staggering amount of money for toys, and likely far too many for a child to focus upon and totally enjoy. That isn't a political stance, either — whether one loves or hates President Trump, the assertion that a child can enjoy three dolls rather than 30 is not only likely true, it's sound financial advice. I Asked ChatGPT To Explain TRUMP Crypto to Me Like I'm 12: As self-made millionaire and CEO of Crush Your Money Goals Bernadette Joy wrote for CNBC, when she was previously $300,000 in debt, her problem was not that she didn't make enough money — it was that she overspent on things that were not needed. She specifically called out children's toys as one of the six things she spent far too much on. 'I've seen parents spend hundreds, sometimes thousands, on toys that their kids lose interest in within weeks,' she noted. 'Less is more. Rotate toys instead of buying new ones, and prioritize experiences over stuff.' While, yes, Trump is a deeply divisive figure, and his advice for moderation with regards to spending should be taken with a grain of salt, his advice in this case actually does align with the recommendations of money experts such as Joy. Further, at a time when inflation is high, and America's economic stability is uncertain, spending in moderation is always good advice.
