BEIJING (Reuters) -Nvidia 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 spokesperson said: "Cybersecurity is critically important to us. NVIDIA does not have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them."
