China has learned its lesson very well. USA national security issues levelled against Huawei's telecommunication equipment was never proven but taken as said at face value by the USA and its cronies and they banned Huawei.
Now, does China even have to prove the existence of a kill switch or backdoor against Nvidia chips? I think the sword cuts both ways and is being well used by China, not just in chips but in other areas of contention.
Trump is trying to tell China to buy more soya beans to save USA farmers with the coming harvesting period. This is not going to happen, as China has completely dumped soya bean imports from the USA and migrated its imports to Brazil and Argentina. Brazil and Argentina soya beans are safer bets knowing that the USA can change its stance at its whims and fancies. Chinese have long memories and will repay kindness with business deals and evil stances with equally hostile acts.

Does anyone read the news that USA chipmakers have embedded a location tracking device in high-end chip-sets to make sure those chips do not end up in China? Very innocent and surprisingly self-declaration, which those who understand the USA would never swallow. What I think they are doing now is plainly damage control, nothing else, knowing that doing that can also be a precursor to inserting a kill switch later on, if the USA had not already done so. I believe China has discovered this, while the USA is trying to come clean fast after being caught red-handed. Which is why China is telling its industry players to avoid Nvidia H20 chips. Nothing happens in a vacuum to quote Dr. David Oualaalou.
Inserting a tracking device is just as bad as a kill switch if it is taken as the norm, that could be later migrated discreetly to include a kill switch. The more I come to understand, the more I am convinced that kill switches in planes is no science fiction story. Who would be foolish enough now to trust USA chipmakers?
Think the location tracking device is put into the shipment and not embedded in the chip. It was reported it can be as large as a smartphone.
I do not think such chips go to China by the shiploads. No one is going to risk getting caught doing that. MSM reports said they are 'embedded' in chips. What is the real situation?
