Activists Call for Congressional Investigation into Microsoft’s Use of China-Based Engineers

Conservative activists are urging Congress to launch an investigation into Microsoft’s usage of China-based engineers to manage Pentagon servers and its apparent failure to disclose details about it in a security plan explaining how it will protect computer systems.

The activist push is based on ProPublica reporting on Microsoft’s employment of Chinese engineers to work on sensitive Pentagon systems and a follow-up story about Microsoft’s decision not to include details about the China-based engineers in its 2025 security plan for the Pentagon.
