News that Chinese nationals were servicing portions of cloud computing services used by the Department of Defense shocked Washington and most Americans. How could such a breach of security have occurred?
For Peter Schweizer, president of GAI and author most recently of Blood Money, it’s not surprising at all. Schweizer tells host Jesse Kelly that all of the major tech companies have long had cozy relationships with the People’s Republic of China. “They rely on Beijing to give them access to the Chinese market, and they’re willing to look the other way when it comes to certain security issues,” he said.
“So, it’s not surprising to me that the contractors would do this. What’s stunning to me is that the [Department of Defense] officials from the Obama and Biden eras authorized and supervised this, and had no problem with it,” he adds.
