                            People's Daily Commentary: Nvidia, how can I trust you?
                        
                            According to a commentary on the People's Daily WeChat official account, Nvidia's H20 computing chip has been exposed to serious security issues, and the company was recently summoned by the Cyberspace Administration of China. Some may wonder, how serious are these security issues? Imagine this scenario: a new energy vehicle on a highway suddenly loses power; a patient undergoing remote surgery experiences a black screen; a mobile phone payment function suddenly fails at a supermarket checkout... Once the security risk of chip vulnerabilities and backdoors is triggered, we could face a "nightmare" at any time. Nvidia subsequently responded, "Cybersecurity is of paramount importance to us. Nvidia's chips do not contain 'backdoors' and do not allow anyone to remotely access or control them." However, despite the response, regarding the concerns about the H20 chip's "tracking and location" and "remote shutdown" risks, the company must comply with the summons and provide convincing security demonstrations to allay Chinese users' concerns and regain market trust. For foreign companies to deepen their presence in the Chinese market, respecting Chinese laws and strictly adhering to security red lines is a fundamental prerequisite. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang once said, "All we need to do is always ensure compliance with the law and do our best to serve our customers in every market." Once we say it, we must keep it. China insists on promoting high-level opening up within the framework of the rule of law, because the rule of law is the best business environment. Whether it is foreign companies or other business entities, only when everyone abides by the rules and treats each other with sincerity can we achieve win-win development.

                            Innoscience responds to Nvidia partnership: "It's still in the testing phase, no actual orders yet"
                        
                            Innoscience's stock price surged in the afternoon, at one point rising over 60% intraday. Nvidia's official website updated its list of 800V DC power supply architecture partners that day, and Innoscience is the only Chinese chip company selected as a partner. Regarding the details of the partnership, Innoscience told reporters, speaking as an investor, that it has been collaborating with Nvidia for some time, primarily due to its high-power gallium nitride technology. However, the partnership is still in the testing phase, with no substantial orders yet generated. As the company is currently in the process of releasing its semi-annual report, it is unable to comment on the prospects and impact of this collaboration.
