The CAC did not specify which experts had found a back door in Nvidia’s products or whether any tests in China had uncovered the same results. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If you're going to make such a claim, you have to provide details.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the CCP's method for protecting the growth and development of local alternatives.

Do you have any reason to believe that there ISN'T any backdoors? From my standpoint this claim sounds like "water is liquid". Of course there are backdoors. Just some particular backdoor may be engineered specially for China. Other backdoors are just for less important countries.

Content aside, your request it to prove a negative, which is impossible.

But CCP authorities claimed that:

It said US AI experts had “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”

Which experts? Considering the CCP claims its American experts, there shouldn't be an issue with linking the research.
