Microsoft says it will no longer use engineers in China for Department of Defense work
Microsoft has announced that it will no longer use engineers based in China to work on projects for the U.S. Department of Defense. This decision comes after a report by ProPublica revealed that the company was employing Chinese engineers to maintain cloud computing systems for the Pentagon. The tech giant has stated that it has implemented changes to ensure that this practice will not continue. This move is likely a response to concerns about potential security risks and the potential for sensitive information to be accessed by individuals in China. The decision highlights the increasing scrutiny and caution surrounding the use of foreign-based engineers for sensitive government contracts, particularly in the context of geopolitical tensions and national security concerns.
