BEIJING, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Nvidia ( NVDA ) must produce

"convincing security proofs" to eliminate Chinese users' worries

over security risks in its chips and regain market trust, a

commentary published China's state-run media People's Daily said

on Friday.

Foreign companies must comply with Chinese laws and take

security to be a basic prerequisite, the commentary said.

In a statement sent to Reuters, a Nvidia ( NVDA ) spokesperson said:

"Cybersecurity is critically important to us. NVIDIA ( NVDA ) does not

have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote

way to access or control them."
