#NVIDIA exposed for potential vulnerabilities and backdoor risks? This wave of operations is strikingly similar to the boycotts faced by Tesla back in the day.
Both are foreign tech companies operating in China, and both have potential data leakage risks......
At that time, #Tesla's vehicle cameras and sensors were accused of possibly transmitting data back to U.S. servers, leading the Chinese government to prohibit its vehicles from entering sensitive areas and requiring localized data storage. Civil servants were not allowed to drive Teslas into their workplaces.
After all, the Chinese market is still a lucrative opportunity, and Tesla had no choice but to compromise by building a factory in Shanghai and establishing a local data center to enhance compliance, which later resulted in the notorious large mouse being seen everywhere.
The difference is that Tesla's issues were limited to consumer privacy and vehicle data, but with NVIDIA, the chip backdoor could allow the U.S. to access China's AI training data or critical computing resources, directly impacting national strategic levels.
The rise of a technological superpower is imperative, and we'll see how NVIDIA responds to this situation.
