NVIDIA has once again failed to clear its name! U.S. officials have openly admitted that the United States is exploring ways to equip chips with more powerful location tracking capabilities! After the People's Daily published an article questioning whether NVIDIA's chips have a "backdoor" and a remote shutdown function, which could lead to usage risks, U.S. White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Krasias openly admitted that we are discussing how to perform software or physical modifications to the chips themselves to achieve better location tracking.

Krasias bluntly stated: This is clearly part of the content included in this plan. Obviously, this statement by U.S. officials has confirmed that the United States will tamper with the chips it exports, and the U.S. government requiring U.S. chips to be equipped with this function is clearly aimed at us. Then we have to question, since U.S. chips must have location tracking functions, information must be transmitted back to the United States, otherwise how can this location tracking function be implemented?

The next question is, if we develop artificial intelligence products that pose a strong competitiveness to the United States using U.S. chips, would the United States, which is desperately trying to compete for artificial intelligence supremacy, not take some actions? Therefore, no matter how NVIDIA tries to prove its innocence, it cannot clear itself. In fact, as a U.S. company, NVIDIA will certainly comply with U.S. regulations. Obviously, the problem is not with NVIDIA, but with the U.S. technology policy towards China.

Before the United States changes its technology policy towards China, which is primarily aimed at containing China, the wisest approach for our enterprises and important institutions is to try to avoid using NVIDIA's chips. Moreover, we are very clear that the United States will never sell us the most advanced chips. In the chip industry, we must achieve independent and autonomous development. It is better to work together with our domestic enterprises than to purchase inferior performance chips from the United States and let U.S. companies make a fortune. The NVIDIA chip is no longer just a commercial issue.
