U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that Chinese nationals are no longer permitted to service Department of Defense (DoD) cloud environments. This policy change follows concerns about Chinese Communist Party-linked engineers working on sensitive Pentagon cloud systems. Hegseth has issued a formal letter of concern to Microsoft, which has been implicated in employing these engineers, and has initiated a full-scale investigation into the matter. The Defense Department will now conduct a thorough review of the management of its cloud services to eliminate any unacceptable risks associated with Chinese involvement. This move reflects heightened national security concerns regarding Chinese access to U.S. military cloud infrastructure.
